@beardalaxy @af2 XMPP stores logs up to a certain amount of time, but people rarely use it for group chats (at least from my experience). You just need to set up a server (an actual server and not what Discord calls a "server") and you can host as many accounts and chat rooms as you want. It's also like the fedi, so servers can communicate with each other. There are also plug-ins to add voice, E2EE, etc.

Only problem is that most clients resemble AIM, Windows Messenger, etc. Of course, you are going to get the "it's outdated response" even though it's just as functional. Though, it is theoretically possible to create an XMPP client that resembles Discord.

>fuck, my IRL friends don't even check their PHONES half the time

I don't blame them. Nobody should have to carry their government tracking device 24/7.

@beardalaxy @af2 I really hate the lame ass excuses they make when you suggest an alternative. "It's just more convient to use the program that I always use", "but Discord has emotes, images, and voice", "isn't <insert alternative here> what terrorists/pedophiles/drug-dealers use".

@Tadano Of course it's on a smartphone, so they will only ever know apps and centralized social media services.. The same problem is happening with gaming in India. They've been introduced to video games on mobile and most have never experienced console or PC gaming, so they will all associate video games with mobage and microtransactions.

I think I finally found a name for my one-man gamedev studio. I thought of "IonCom" or "Ioncom". I got the name because I think science related words go good with game companies/studios (the defunct Ion Storm being a big inspiration) and I like how a lot of older gaming and software companies used "com" at the end of their name.

It seems like nobody is using it which is good. Now, I just need someone to do a logo.

This Milei inauguration is just proof that everyone would rather rely on hopium than taking action into their own hands.
