@mischievoustomato @prettygood @tadano @pomstan @PurpCat @sapphire @djsumdog If someone really wants/needs to join a community, they will use whatever. Sure, some will complain, but they can suck it up. So if you want to use anything other than Discord for your project, you can.

>how so many FOSS projects are using Discord
Off the top of my head:
* OBS Studio
* Hyprland
* MonoGame
* SFML (though they also have a forum and IRC)
* Godot Engine (also has a forum)
* FreeSO (open-source re-implementation of The Sims Online)

There are plenty more. Though mostly, they are projects that just so happen to be open-source and the community doesn't really care about the FOSS movement.

@pomstan @PurpCat @djsumdog @mischievoustomato @tadano @sapphire @prettygood Occasionally he makes some good points, such as how so many FOSS projects are using Discord, but most of the time it's just him complaining about how "crypto is evil" or "there are too many right-wingers in the FOSS community".

@beardalaxy @helldiverliberator I think that has more to do with the target demographic being kids and teenagers back then, and they really didn't care about economics. It was mostly parents who called out on their businesses practices, but it was mostly "why does my kid need a Super Nintendo he already has an NES."

@beardalaxy @helldiverliberator I mean, even back then, they would go after cheat devices and even rental stores. Looking back on it, Sega was a lot less greedy and power hungry (they even embraced cheat devices and rental stores to spite Nintendo), but I don't think being pro-consumer was valued much back then.

@beardalaxy @helldiverliberator Take time to celebrate about what they were instead of what they are now.

So it looks like the UN Pact of the Future was signed and barely anyone noticed. The only good news is that at least one country (Argentina) refused to sign. I feel like the US is going to be on board with the PoFT no matter what. My only hope is that state and local governments nullify any or all UN mandates just like what Louisiana did back in April.

@icedquinn Which is why they just signed the Pact of the Future which is even worse.
