Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux’s permission prompts

        I wouldn’t say discord is either of those things

        They need to limit server sizes, get rid of community searching, and add #XXXX to the end of usernames before we can pretend that

          Wouldn’t limiting server sizes and getting rid of community searching be removing features? Why would anyone want that?

          And Discord used to have #XXXX at the end of usernames.

            Why would anyone want that?

            1 they aren’t pedos

            2 they want an app to talk to their friends with

            3 they don’t want to be victims of misinformation campaigns

            And Discord used to have #XXXX at the end of usernames.

            Yeah it was better, it meant if you were being stalked you could just have the numbers changed. Now you need a completely different alias with the only purpose to be discouraging victims from getting help

              1- What does that have to do with anything?

              2- Then make a private server for just your friends.

              3- Then make a private server for just your friends.

              And no, it wasn’t better. Just… different.

                1. The people that want the public servers/control of a bunch of kids are pedos

                2/3 opposite of above: the people who would join public servers are too young to know not to

                  It’s rather odd you think discord is full of children… And that there aren’t verification processes in place.

                  You’re creating a problem with Discord that doesn’t exist, or at least, not in any way that’s unique to discord.

      I so wish there was matrix protocol for voice rooms and a good reference implementation but sadly there are neither

        How long has it been since you used element/matrix? Serious question because the new element call stack is now finally released in element stable, as of a few patches ago. (It still only shows up as the “video rooms” feature that u have to enable in the labs/beta settings)

        Its much cleaner than before and properly supports screensharing, adjusting individual user volumes and more. The previous jitsi based voice rooms were somewhat lacking i admit but they have been functional for years.

        That was the last thing that kind of kept me from fully endorsing matrix but now it does all that really important stuff. The new mobile ElementX client also supports the new call system but its overall lacking compared to the normal mobile client which does not support it.

        But for desktop use i dont have any complains anymore about matrix really.

          not that I dig into it very far but I check maybe once a year to find out if any of the features I want made it into matrix protocol yet and they always seem stalled
