Don't let others keep you on a service that doesn't care about you.
@Mrfunkedude Discord is terrible no cap.

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

@Mrfunkedude it also seemed to me that convincing a Fedi user to even just try Matrix was really not a piece of cake.

@politipet I've never really had a problem. I just invite and people who want to show up. If they don't, then they don't.

@c_merriweather@social.linux.pizza Jitsi meet is a Zoom replace type thing so there's that.
Although it isn't really a space with chat rooms and such, you could set up a vdo.ninja room. You can save how everyone's video displays and no one even has to sign up for anything. It's all just URL's. You could easily set up multiple video feeds and switch between them if you have different maps or images to show .

@TWDickson I don't use it so I haven't been paying super close attention, but theyrl're now (or soon to be) requiring face scans/government ID to use it.

Seems that verification is only required for adult content.

@Mrfunkedude I am a bit behind! My server does not yet have a chat client!

I haven’t dipped into matrix anything at all. And I think if you’ve ever spoken on that environment, I’d love a link or if you haven’t think of it is a topic idea!
