They said it will be able to connect with Mastodon, so there is zero need imho. I guess it’s more aimed at the casual user who doesn’t care much about data collection.
What I wonder more tho, how is Meta planning on not getting blocked by most Mastodon servers out of fear they’ll go grab all data possible from any server they federate with? Most Mastodon users aren’t exactly pro-Meta and pro-give all your data away…
With a bidge like the guy below said. I think the owner of de Discord server needs to set it up tho, and I don’t run any Discord servers, so I don’t know the details. But I noticed sone servers do it.
Well some Discord channels are already synchronising their content with Matrix, using the room feature to mimic the channel structure. OpenStreetMaps does this for example. I wouldn’t mind that normalising as at least, it stops me from needing to use Discord myself. But the fact it still synchronises back to Discord is, of course, not ideal. Small steps to the right direction I guess.
Replacement would be nice, but I mainly use it for some local communities which I expect will be the last to migrate. They barely got a start on Discord…
You make it sound so much funnier than it is. But thanks for the laugh! At least some positivity now came from it 🫠.
