Flashback to JK Rowling deciding to repress his gender dysphoria after being abused by his ex-husband

This was a plot point in Superman and Lois, and Lois had a very good explanation for her choice: Your brother doesn’t have powers. I trusted you to look after yourself where he couldn’t.

And that’s why I can’t use Matrix for what I use Discord for. I run several Discord servers including one that I literally used magic to guide My hand in creating the channel layout, and people in the server can feel the magic in the !air. Which is appropriate, because it’s an occult server. Such magic would never be possible on Matrix.

So when people say Matrix works as a Discord replacement, I disagree. Members of My coven have felt a pit of nausea in their stomach when they try to engage with Matrix the same way.

Not even Matrix has figured out text chat that works as well as Discord’s. A Discord server has a sense of place to it. Matrix channels change position based on the most recent message, which damages the ability to create a sense of place.

Social media are new media technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content (such as ideas, interests, and other forms of expression) amongst virtual communities and networks.[1][2]

Wikipedia.

The earliest forms of social media appeared almost as soon as technology could support them. E-mail and chat programs debuted in the early 1970s, but persistent communities did not surface until the creation of the discussion group network USENET in 1979.

Encyclopedia Britannica.

websites and computer programs that allow people to communicate and share information, opinions, pictures, videos, etc. on the internet, especially social networking websites

So 0H is like 35C and 100H is 40C? That kinda sucks.

Humans in different areas are used to and can survive different temperatures. There’s this buddhist guy who goes out in the snow naked and meditates to produce body heat.

But all humans are made of water, and can relate its chemical processes to their comfort and survival.

That’s because you’re using the silly farenheit scale, which was designed for brine. You should use celcius, which is designed for humans.

Social media allowed teams around the world to rapidly coordinate on the invention and distribution of the vaccines. COVID had fewer deaths than the 1918 influenza pandemic despite the massive increase in population since then, in part because of social media.

You think Trump is smart enough to listen when his staff tell him that?

I think social media apps like youtube, email, and zoom have been very useful for society. The pandemic would have killed a lot more people if not for social media.

If Trump decides to launch a nuke at Vancouver, which of your allies are bold enough to send one his way?

The Matrix protocol sends the channel name and icon from server to user client. It’s one extra field to add the ordinality. Two extra fields to add the category and ordinality. Adding your idea onto My idea so users can also reorder channels after the space moderator orders them would be ideal, but please don’t mistake My suggestion for the idea you came up with.

Your group arrangement should either be under user account preferences, or local client settings

I disagree. On Discord, channels are sorted and grouped by the server admins. This is good UX design because it gives every user on a server the same experience of the channels, and doesn’t require users to all replicate a bunch of the same work.

What you’re proposing as a solution is that every single user in a Matrix space is responsible for sorting and grouping all of the channels in the space that they’ve joined. That’s a ridiculous proposal because 99% of users aren’t going to go to that ridiculous effort, they’re going to be happy with the default settings. I think your idea is better than Matrix’s current setup, but it’s far worse than Discord from a usability perspective.

I think that means people use Discord for twelve completely different things

I recommend MULTIVERSE to any new otherkin/xenogender/plural fediverse users, or anyone who has antirealist sympathies.

Are you saying you want the moderators of a Discord server to decide whether users on the server use dark mode or light mode?

HTML and CSS are also protocols. But I think a better analogy is RSS. RSS carries information about the order of posts, which clients can use however they want. I think that’s the right way to do this feature.

If it’s not supported by the protocol, how is an admin’s sorting of channels supposed to be pushed to the users in the server? It won’t work, it can’t be a client option. If it has to be a client option and it can’t, then it’s impossible.
