I’d LOVE a resource like that! I’m sure it exists but I never found it, and it is a silly thing to be hung up on but I just didn’t properly understand the folder structure. I’ve still used Linux plenty but I’m dragging my feet on using it as a daily driver, but I’m VERY close to making the jump.

Calls and easily sharing my screen are 90% of my use cases for Discord. The entire appeal of it initially was that it was a more functional Ventrilo with both text and voice channels. Hopefully something FOSS gets further developed by the time Discord completely shits the bed.

It’s obviously not great for the type of community that’s about knowledge sharing and learning, and it does suck that a lot of communities went there.

But it’s a great platform for simple social servers that are just about communicating. It’s super easy to sign up and set up a server. A lot of it just works well for chat.

Them going public probably puts a timer on the service though, so if it happens Discord probably just will get worse.

Thanks for sharing the article! It was very informative. I’m definitely going to remember it as the Robert pattinson law though.

Are the first few episodes a bit slow? Watched the first episode and it didn’t click at all for us.

It’s definitely hard to know when being overly enthusiastic ends and when love bombing begins. I agree that it isn’t always necessarily malicious but, as with most everything, clear open communication is the solution.
