Don't let others keep you on a service that doesn't care about you.

@Mrfunkedude so you folks all went the Jon Mastodon way, or running away from Discord took you to the Matrix.org ?

@Mrfunkedude Perhaps I’m out of the loop here. What’s going on with Discord?

@TWDickson They're demanding age verification.

@Mrfunkedude so you're going to advertise @mrfunkedude:matrix.org on your «all of my links» https://mrfunkedude.com ?
(or your matrix chatroom)

@Mrfunkedude Discord knows who you talk to, what you talk about, has profiled you to the absolute level, fingerprinted your devices and probably a lot of other nasty stuff BUT the boiling point for you is the ID verification??
I knew discord users were absolutely braindead but now I know how braindead they are.

@politipet I put the links where I want and I give them out to whom I want.
What's your point?

@Mrfunkedude Discord seems in hindsight to be appropriately named.

@me @Mrfunkedude I was wondering how Mastodon/Fediverse and Matrix.org compare/fit/fight/fare
Technically, Matrix.org is not Fédiverse – not even bridged afaik – although it is federated as well. To me, Matrix is chat/discord/slack, which Masto is "not really" – but could be and sometimes is used for that.

@NicelyManifest Damn it I hate when others thinks of obvious jokes before me.

@Mrfunkedude Discord is terrible no cap.

@Mrfunkedude I was just wondering how you would advertise your Matrix.org use, in comparison to your Fediverse use. I have seen you already advertise your public Matrix chatroom in your Masto profile, that's why I'm asking.

@politipet I put out a couple of posts each week telling people about the chat. Currently there are 58 people who pop in and out but about 10 that are regulars.
I advertise both as needed to different groups.

@Mrfunkedude So what are the alternatives for those who use Discord for paying voice/video table top role playing games (ttrpgs)?

@Mrfunkedude I used to have my public chat https://matrix.to/#/#politipet:matrix.org showing on my Masto profile, similarly to you, and eventually removed it for lack of success. It seemed to me that people on Masto (at least the ones following me) did not give a damn about Matrix, except 2 guys.

@c_merriweather Honestly, I don't think there is a direct 1 to 1 replacement. You can find chat's that have some of the features, but no one has all of them.
I prefer Matrix.org because that's what I have the most experience in. It lacks good admin tools and there can be an on-boarding difficulty for some, but mostly it does the job that I need it to.
Of course your mileage may vary.
