If matrix wasn’t so poorly implemented, I’d recommend it.
I dove in to the deepend and found Matrix to be underwhelming and that’s probably generous.

Thanks for the link.
Why not promote piefed?

People here are satisfied with using the ActivityPub services and content with slow growth of a now sustainable but relatively small user group.
The people who want to use bsky just want a better Twitter. And bsky has delivered that. If that’s temporary, it’s better for them to use it while it lasts because Mastodon is absolutely not what those people using bsky want. Mastodon to them is technically worse than Twitter but something they may settle for if bsky wasn’t an option.
Federation and decentralization is not what the users of bsky want. It’s (for some) a nice to have thing but way down on the list of what they value.
I agree with most of what you said, just wanted to let you know that the tone wasn’t optimal for facilitating understanding.
Have a nice weekend.
You seem to have take a very uncharitable interpretation of this post.
This is what people didn’t want. But it was inevitable that eventually that people would stop complaining about the newest iteration of this.
Yup. This is why Discord/Whatsapp/Telegram are so popular, for better or worse.
I wish that gained some traction.
I also wish it had a name that is easy to intuit a pronunciation.
When I want to have back and forth between people on a regular basis, I choose chat apps. Mastodon feels like it’s trying to be a poorly designed chat app.
I do worry that they’ll run out of money before they can do the work to let the ecosystem become sustainable by itself.
I’m mildly concerned about this as well.
You don’t need to access information via the relay. You can have a client get information directly from PDSes or Appviews that don’t get their information from the relay.
Just about anything related to moderation tools.
Dealing with the All feed properly.
Users being able to configure default sorting on posts.
etc.
Lemmy needs to mature on a technical basis. The Lemmy service itself is still lacking significantly. But it it progressing.
Outside of technical limitations, focus on communities. A few good ones are better than many mediocre ones.
I hope they start supporting people who want to run an indexer. Right now they just point to their source code and say, “if you can get this largely undocumented complex service running on your own, you can run a indexer, but don’t ask us for any help”.
I’m not entirely confident that it will happen before their only funding source decides to cut off the cash flow.
Interesting comments there. Thanks for the pointer!
This is great! Thanks!
I honestly don’t think federated architecture is valuable for a chat room service.
