Have safe travels, poVoq!

But my other group that hangs out in there async every day and the occasionally jumps onto an ad-hoc voice chat when people are available to game, or sometimes shares my screen so someone else can watch what I’m doing? None of those things do that.

And we could limp by with an XMPP room for chat and then a link to a Jitsi or Mumble or something when it’s time to do something. But there’s something tight about having the “just call” button right there, tied to the chat you’re already in.

XMPP can do actually that with the Movim client! It’s able to do group voice calls, group video calls, screensharing (now with audio as long as you’re using a chromium based browser), and even has a blog functionality built in :D

The Movim dev is currently working on implementing discord-like servers with rooms.

Also @Skavau@piefed.social and @lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org

Pinging @Five@lemmy.cafe so you know we’re gathering here :)

Isn’t that just another centralized reddit clone like Voat or Tildes? The top/most active communities also aren’t promising… Right-libertarians and Ancaps 😒

Not sure how that would be better than just spooling up another lemmy/piefed instance that allows for NSFW. The big advantage of federation is that the rest of us can continue on even if some instances like LemmyNSFW falter, where as if you ever decided to shut down goatmatrix, that’s it, all of it is gone.

EDIT:

'Matrix is a free speech platform.

Uh oh…

But just like there are people whose idea of internet fun is complain-tainment, there are people who are on the internet for argu-tainment. Again. They should go elsewhere. I get it. It’s fun for some people. But not every place needs to be a dive bar. Those exist on the internet. Go to them. And the last is similar to the others. I’m trying to find the best way to phrase it, but it is trying to show off how much of a worthless asshole you are. Sounds like an odd thing to do. But again, this is entertainment for some people, and if you don’t show them the door, they will think the place is built for them. And if it is built for them, it can’t be built for the folks at the top of the pyramid. And that’s just who I want to build this place for.

So will these behaviors at the bottom lead to a ban? No. We are testing if a different model is possible. We will ask them to leave and make a conscious choice not value their kind of content. If you show up to someone’s party and start messing up the place, and it isn’t that kind of party, they are going to ask you to leave. If someone does, be a developed human being and just leave. In real life, manners would and should work. So why not the internet?

That seems… Very optimistic.

What behaviors will lead to a ban? Is it so free-speech that someone could start an openly white nationalist or neo-nazi community there? If so, that’s how you get Nazi-bars (which is why Voat failed).

I tried to convince myself it’s just a friendly gang of frogs body-slamming some lily pads out in the garden pond, but the illusion was shattered when I realized even frogs need to sleep.
