See you guys in IRC.
This is to test the waters for desktop ads I’m sure of it.
These are the desktop ads that are already there, they’re bringing the quests (that, for now, have an off switch) to mobile
What an excellent place to remind people of the Free and Open Source Element project built upon the Matrix platform.
They, in my opinion, desperately need contributors to provide the same level of features as Discord, particularly with community and moderation features such as a landing page where users can agree with rules and terms before using the server.
Our mission is to create the most authentic, player-centric advertising platform in the galaxy
Look, the quiet part, right in the open.
Hate this marketing, player-centric advertising platform is an oxymoron.
Discomfort.
Welp it was a nice run. What’s up element?
Element is run by a for-profit company. Plus, it’s not even remotely similar to Discord. Apples and oranges.
Element is an app for “Matrix” (thats like lemmy but for discord) that is developed by a for-profit company (the company mostly manages deployments for big governments). But not only is it open source, its just one client of many for matrix. The vast majority are developed by individuals (Cinny, FluffyChat).
Plus, it’s not even remotely similar to Discord.
There are probably discord features missing from matrix but they certainly have a lot of similarities. Though tbf Cinny is the closest to discord in terms of design and functionality not element (but they both are matrix clients).
