Hi,
just a question if there is a Discord[1] Server for Enlightenment Users
& Developers? What is your opinion about to create one?
Why not just use matrix? Have you tried it? If you want a "modern
works on
mobile apps and works in a web browser" kind of chat experience, matrix
provides that - e.g. use element.io to access matrix and the #e
channel ...
which is the same as the libera #e irc channel. What is it about
discord that
is specifically better than Matrix+Element in this case?
Sorry Raster, I've not received your mail in my E-Mail client. Only the
reply from Simon. I've to adjust my spam filer.
I didn't know Element before. Don't know if it brings same benefits as
Discord. I could just say I love using Discord. I use it for other
developer groups and it's fantastic. We share screenshots, files, videos
as Gif or mp4 to show us problems or features. Direct video play in the
chat window. Emotional reactions. Even voice and video chat rooms are
possible. People come there as it feels good.
1. I can reset the password for my account (I've been locked out of
matrix for years because the password reset simply doesn't work for me).
2. There is a tonne of people who are already there and using it for
other communities (as with irc), in the openSUSE community we ended up
with a Discord community because a bunch of users who were already there
created one then later it became official.
I agree - modern tools are good. Matrix + element provide that AND
provide a
link back to old IRC. It means the channel is not owned by some
company that
might change policies in future.
In the openSUSE case we also have a bot running in Discord that bridges
the chat between Matrix and Discord, in some but not all cases for
openSUSE this also feeds into irc. So for me the people rather then the
tools are why i'd go for Discord over Matrix, as long as nothing long
term important lives there if things change you can just tell people
your leaving / moving if terms change.
In many groups is a bot with a GitHub bridge that allows easy following
of current changes or things like received Github stars.
So I vote for creating one, try it for some month and if nobody likes it
the server dies from alone. :-)
Bad thing is the name "enlightenment" is taken. :-P
regards
Andreas
