  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

    Jump

  • Don't think so. I mean there is the web client which does give a default instance, but it requires an invite code.

  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

  • Google might think your Website is down

    Jump

  • So I'm currently at work, where we use Fortinet, which is blocking your website for "Phishing".

    Before that, your website made my browser ring the alarm with the error "net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID".

    You might want to look into those two.

    I have questions about Discord. Can you answer some?

    Jump

  • Can all of our Discord contacts see all the Communities we joined?

    I can only see mutual servers (ones both of us are in) for other users.

  • ..........

    Jump

  • I am a registered voter, so I give my name and vote.

    How do you protect against impersonation like that?

    Like, what prevents someone else from claiming to be you? If all you need is a name?

    (not an american btw)

  • Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet

    Jump

  • Is there a reason the room icons have to be humongous, at least in the web version on PC?

    Other than that, looks great.

  • Microsoft's Notepad Got Pwned (They Added AI To It, So...)

    Jump

  • The remote code execution isn't "via a text file". It's via a link in a text file, which Notepad now lets you actually click.

    Just don't click on links you don't know the destination of (Notepad shows the destination for https links at least, on hover) and you don't have any remote code executing.

  • I had a random (probably dumb) idea: Given the whole Discord Drama going on, what if there was a Discord alternative, but in the style of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • There's Shoot as a fediverse alternative to Discord.

    Otherwise, as others have said, IRC, Matrix, or Teamspeak are worth looking into. Especially the latter got a major refresh at one point, so it's not the dinosaur you might expect from its age.

    Perhaps it could potentially be forked from the already existing Lemmy?

    I really don't see the point of turning a discussion forum into an instant messaging platform. Like, the requirements are completely different. You might as well start from square one than trying to transform one into the other.

  • What are some discord alternatives that we can suggest to our friends?

    Jump

  • There is Shoot which is actually part of the fediverse (uses ActivityPub).

  • What do you belive is the best reddit alternative?

    Jump

  • Mbin is the best one imo. I tried out Piefed and Lemmy, but didn't like them. Too much like new reddit for my tastes.

  • Deleted

  • I'm still on Reddit for some stuff, but I've joined the fediverse during the blackout protests. I saw people pitching kbin.social and decided to give it a try, and stuck around. Reddit has always gone downhill in my opinion, though it has yet to reach the point where the burden of using it outweights what I gain out of it. So I still use it to fill in what the fediverse can't give me yet.

  • Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example

    Jump

  • It's called projection. You accuse an enemy of something that actually applies to you or your team. Heavily used by people on the far right. People also refer to it as "every accusation is a confession".

    Like when Musk called that diver a pedophile, when Musk is the actual pedophile.

    That's why the accusation seems odd since the antichrist is more likely to come from the Republican party than some random activist. Because this is actually about the Republican party, not Greta.

  • Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example

    Jump

  • Is he saying there that the entire reason they are destroying the world is to bring about their religious doomsday fantasies?

    I mean by now "every accusation is a confession" is pretty much proven about these people. So this too has to be projection and actually about his team.

  • Does anyone know why was the article"Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Had a Major Hand in Making Call of Duty Series a Microtransaction Hell" from fandomwire and other articles about this was taken down?

    Jump

  • That's just an email TO Epstein.

  • Does anyone know why was the article"Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Had a Major Hand in Making Call of Duty Series a Microtransaction Hell" from fandomwire and other articles about this was taken down?

    Jump

  • So I tried looking through jmail for "kotick", "call of duty", and "microtransaction" and couldn't find it. Neither in the official library (haven't checked call of duty there though, too many results). Do we know that this is actually real? Maybe the articles got removed because it turned out to be fake?

  • Is there any service that provide a community growth chart on lemmy?

    Jump

  • Mbin (another Reddit based fediverse project) has that exact chart in the magazine (community) panel.

  • theoretical considerations on identity management

    Jump

  • The big problem with improving how this stuff works on the fediverse is that you want to stay compatible with other software and instances running older versions of your software. In general, ActivityPub projects expect the id of an actor to be dereferenceable. They expect it to point to a valid JSON-LD document describing the actor which they can request. If you break this expected contract by using a local file as your identity, or even just a non-https URI like did:, you're going to lose intercompatibility with other instances that don't handle that.

    Also, regarding your description of the three parts, I think you're misunderstanding something that I see people misunderstand often.

    The identity provider basically only makes a proof that "you are you" : you give it your login credentials and it gives you a kind of token that authenticates (proves your identity) to other services. like, i'm on discuss.tchncs.de, but i can post to lemmy.world. this is because the discuss.tchncs.de server says to lemmy.world that i indeed have this account on this server. so they prove my identity in a way.

    So, I might be wrong here, but I interpret you as saying basically that you're authoring posts on lemmy.world with your account provided by discuss.tchncs.de. That's not really how this works. Your data hoster is the instance you have your account on, not the one the community is on. Your instance just shares the posts you make on it with the community, but all it receives is a copy. The canonical version is on your instance, discuss.tchncs.de.

    Again, data hoster and identity provider are currently the same thing. The fediverse is just a bunch of interconnected silos, you do things within your own instance and then other instances receive a copy of the thing you did. You never author things directly on another instance than your own.

    The token stuff there sounds like SSO (single sign on), but it doesn't look like either of those instances support that. So not sure what you were referring to there. The public key to verify the signature maybe? That's more meant to ensure that the object is actually authored by you iirc though.

  • Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?

    Jump

  • How often do y'all convert your measurements?

    It's second nature in metric. All the time.

    Judging by your post, it sounds like that's not the case in imperial. But you need to understand that especially converting between mm, cm, m, and km, for example, is not just extremely common, it's just normal. If you add up 10 times a 1000 meters, you don't call that 10000 meters, that would be awkward. You say it's 10 km.

    We convert all the time, so that's why we assume the same must be the case in imperial and thus the easy conversions must be focused on because clearly they would get you to understand why metric is superior.

  • Fediverse needs a Q&A (Questions & Answers) service before Quora runs out of money

    Jump

  • I understand the need for features when it comes to StackExchange (though Piefed has that functionality now), but what did Quora do that existing fediverse services like Lemmy can't replicate?
