you’re being disingenuous with the why not it’s easy it’s cheap you know full well most people won’t self host but you’re refusing to acknowledge that because it’s inconvenient for your hatred of discord that pretends there’s issues that just aren’t there search doesn’t vary depending on server it’s the exact same search feature you just don’t know how to use it or care to learn
got it so you’re being disingenuous on the third party hosting thing most people who are computer literate don’t know how to use irc it’s a near dead technology and that’s the thing with discord you don’t have to hope someone will bother to sign up they’re already signed up most people are whether you like it or not and as for the releaf questions again the search feature on discord is really good you just can’t be bothered to adapt to the new reality I don’t like discord either I wish we could nuke all corporations off the internet entirely I wish that people would switch to matrix entirely but you’ve also gotta be realistic dude
yeah most people aren’t gonna host it themselves accept that reality so you’re just shifting the burden to an even smaller company too they do disappear it happens and to say otherwise is either moronic or willfully disingenuous and noone under the age of 50 knows how to use irc as for the search engine yeah that’s one downside but that’s ignoring the fact most times you search a problem on a search engine you get a support forum with an auto closed issue cause noone responds to it the same with it closed with a response that was just read the documentation or it closed by the user saying “fixed it” and that’s it and knowing what server to start with isn’t the issue you pretend it is you just put a discord button in the app or the settings page if it’s something bigger than an app
anyone that says there’s no history just refuses to learn to use discord discord has a very powerful and easy to use search feature I can find exact conversations from years ago in literally seconds the interface thing is subjective but whether it’s bad or not people know how to use it atleast and the third party could disappear whenever applies to github most forums too this is what I mean by refuse to acknowledge I’ve had fat better experiences with support on discord than any alternative
because as much as old people hate to acknowledge it mailing lists and github (and alternatives) suck they’re terrible for actual conversations to try and coax more info out of the user when they ask for support people aren’t logged into those 24/7 a lot of people are with discord and everyone’s familiar with it and already has an account and knows the UI how many people actually have a github account and know how to use it and will actually ever log back in to give more information if asked vs putting a discord button somewhere someone pops in reports the issue then if there’s not enough info you can @ them and they’ll come back as soon as they see it
cryptofash that hides behind free speech and allows nazis and that to post in the discord and banned a trans person that called out the messages by those users for “inciting arguments” and repeatedly misgendered them then went on about how they’re not bigoted they just believe in free speech and blamed the user and pretending they were the victim and then when people said they should have a code of conduct he said doing that was just a hassle and how it would make it impossible to do lead dev stuff for him to enforce the rules while saying they have rules against that sort of thing anyway so blatant doublespeak where he’s saying he’s moderating and everyone’s lying but also if he had to moderate he’d be too busy to develop

that’s still the publisher not steam and honestly a bit gog that they let them get away with that you can’t blame steam and customers largely using the better platform for awful publishers scamming people on a different platform
you’re just going to interpret this is as proving you right and me as a cultist but the thing about no updates on gog is nothing to do with steam that’s the publisher steam doesn’t make them do that there’s no reason it’s the publisher/developers I don’t think valve can do no wrong but I would say steams never done anything bad to me valve includes gambling in all their multiplayer games that are full of children they were one of the earliest companies to make loot boxes their business model though arguably even worse as they gave all the tools for an external economy for those skins and gave the crates out abundantly to encourage you to buy the keys because you already have the crate but the steam division in valve has provided me with a consistently great experience in every way games on there own launcher almost always just work on linux refunds are trivial family sharing is great for making it even cheaper I don’t like drm and I’d use gog more if they didn’t kinda suck from a user perspective but even with heroic playing games on gog is a little jank on linux in a way it just isn’t with steam and gog has literally no family sharing I don’t play games from the shared library much but I like having it when I do and my siblings actually do play some games from my library a fair bit steam/valve is a company like any others that ultimately cares about profit not me or any other customer but unlike other companies they understand the value of long term thinking and good customer relationships they don’t care about me but they know I’m more likely to keep coming back and buying loads of games if they don’t keep trying to screw me over and add lots of good features that save me money and make my experience better
sweeney is that you?
it is not still in development decentralisation on bluesky is vapourware it will never exist it’s just part of the standard EEE cycle it’s marketing they’ll say it didn’t work out and cancel it the second they become the predominant platform
no how dare you it’s literally dead on average I’m not short 😭
stop trying to make the interrobang happen it’s not going to happen
no it’s not jesus christ stop just always assuming everything is ai this image has been around for years that’s a real youtuber
most people who make software probably also don’t want to create support structures they just wanna pick something that already exists and go good enough
