  • I believe it’s just Eugen not willing to remove the useless limits. People very rarely go past 400 anyway, but when you really have something to say, you have to start these stupid threads like you’d do in Twitter. I wish Mastodon would just start trunkating posts at a certain character/line limit, behind a “show more” button.






  • https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/7487 Here’s an issue that tracks the missing features.

    However, the biggest difference is simply the fact that Discord and Element work fundamentally very differently. Element is (still) centered around making single rooms where people can choose to join. Discord on the other hand operates from a “”““server””“”" perspective where everyone joins every room by default unless access is restricted. It’s the complete opposite.

    It’s like people really haven’t tried Discord, Element or neither and try to make you push a cube object through a circular hole claiming, “yes it fits just do it”. As it stands, Element is not the answer to Discord specifically and claiming otherwise is only gonna end up with disappointed new users.




  • xe8 is correct. Communities in Element are only glorified collections of rooms without any of the features that Discord provide.

    In fact, there’s an issue on the Element github repo called “Discordification of Riot/Matrix” and it’s a long, long list of missing features. Element is not a proper alternative to Discord.

    1: super+w (for tabbed layout) stops working for unknown reasons, still works if you press another i3 hotkey right before it.
    2: super+l (for moving to the right) stops working when I change to my custom svorak keyboard layout where the L key has been moved. Like the first one this also works if you press any other i3 hotkey right before it.

    The root cause seems to be fcitx, but I’m not sure. Second one is too much to ignore so I have to change wm. i3 recognizes the keypresses but won’t do the action itself.

    It’s probably of no use here honestly, but maybe if anyone else here still uses Reddit on the Slide app. Also, fedi has made me uneasy towards anyone sharing “block lists” so I’d be hesitant to share mine lol.

    My list of filtered subreddits has gotten huge, and I’m afraid I’ll probably need to do the same with communities around fedi as well. So many of the top subreddits have this “let’s laugh at the idiot” mentality to them.
