I genuinely don't understand why some open source communities rely so heavily on Discord.

[-] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 12 points 4 months ago

Because you need people to build a community, and like it or not, most people are on discord

There are other reasons but I think this is the main one

Yes but it's a small effort to sign up for somewhere else. Matrix is just as good and they do care about your privacy.

I find it really weird for a project like Home Assistant where the whole goal of the package is to wrestle control of your home from the big tech clouds. Only to put their own comms data in a big tech cloud... :X

Matrix is not as good. It’s getting there with spaces and matrix 2.0 on the horizon but it’s still a bit clunky.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
