i am really impressed with discord so far for a community chat solution. great featureset, easy to use.
too bad it's closed source and not encrypted?
@Juliette cool, will look at it. but i go where the communities are, so i don't have much say in the platform used here
@alyx also the nonstop video game references get pretty annoying after a while imo
@alyx Matrix/Riot wants to eventually reach feature parity with Discord's core I think, at least as far as the community features are concerned (their version of the Discord "server" is literally called a "community"). But, they're understaffed and progress is slow; communities are just invite-only collections of channels with no other features at the moment.
Plenty of folks hang out in #meta:cybre.space, though ;)
@alyx @Skirmisher yeah, the nonstop *silly gamer culture* can be a bit of an issue, depending on context... https://twitter.com/JamesPaddock/status/945540788347330561
@alyx you might want to try riot then if you haven't yet.
