This is completely counter productive to growing Lemmy. I absolutely despise discord. Look at the network traffic it generates and tell me wtf they are doing. They won’t tell you. Their business model will leave you completely dumbfounded as to how they exist. Everything shared on the platform is lost in a black hole unavailable to the outside world and everything shared is a privacy nightmare. Posting this, pinning it here, and locking it is one of the biggest trolls possible. It pisses me off every time I log in. “Everyone else does it” is the excuse of idiots. Discord makes absolutely no sense to anyone that actually cares to look into it, read the user agreement, and ask sane questions about what they are doing.

      We use it for chat and vc. Announcements go here.

      Edit: you are not even an LW user so you don’t even see it pinned.

        Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

          ‘All the defederation’? It’s only Hexbear and Exploding Heads - and we stand by those. Blahaj did federate with them and look what happened, you want to deal with that go ahead.

          Here is a good and easy script if you want to host your own instance: https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy. Good luck!

            Uhh…

            You sure we defederated from hexbear?

            https://lemmy.world/instances

            It’s be cool if we did, but unless I’m reading that list wrong, we’re federated

              Sure we are, it’s in the Blocked List all the way at the bottom

              Only Beehaw defederated from us. And that will be undone when the right moderation tools become available. So really I don’t even know what you’re talking about now. The piracy thing is not something we wanted to do either.

                  I’m not really trying to have an argument about this, I have already moved on. I just was explaining why I’m in this conversation with a non-lemmy.world account.

                  Ok so you moved on after making no sense whatsoever.

                  Lastly, I wouldn’t necessarily count on beehaw refederating after more moderation tools are available. I think a substantial amount of the community there have a pretty negative view of your instance…

                  We’ll see wether or not Beehaw wants to federate with us, that’s 100% up to them as we have no problems with that instance. Whatever they do we’re still in talks with the admins there and we continue to support them even if we’re not federated. But thanks for your snarky response.
