  • I don’t know much when it comes to clothing types but I can so for one thing, I dress to attract both men and women, also myself since your day-to-day friend are sometimes just mirrors in your room.

    At other times I’ll just be naked so people wouldn’t go visit my room.

    But the thing is, my kind-of exhibitionist close friend started to become okay being naked themselves around me, It’s not like she goes into my room alot, at one point she joined me in the shower. I kind don’t know if this is a good thing lol, but eh whatever, naked friend, we’re both weird so, I don’t mind.

    I’ve seen comments about devs being busy implementing other stuff, so I was thinking if people can have a wiki hosted elsewhere maybe on github or just make lemmy posts and chain-link them together.

    Some of the ideas seem more of a burden to the community mod e.g. setting up a matrix server (and modding that too). But then again you already wrote that that is optional.

    Typo: I meant chatroom, that’s kinda unnecessary







  • XMPP is more safe, I can’t remember what exactly but I remember the whole XMPP vs Matrix thing, and matrix has this metadata problem, that spreads like a literal virus; instead of exchanging individual messages- entire chats while encrypted is stored in each server you federate. in regards to privacy Matrix isn’t the best. on top of that most people sign up matrix on matrix.org so that’s a huge chunk of metadata.

    However, your family and friends are sometimes boomers when it comes to signing up for xmpp. so what I’d do is use both and spoonfeed them every step of the way to use xmpp. I’d like to make an easy guide for xmpp one day.




  • discord =/= forum

    Probably why people are moving gaming forums to discord is for the fact that social connectivity works better with discord. you get to know people by talking to them directly via chat or voice call. and for gamers, well, they can find other players and play with them right on the go.

    I do like forums for the fact that it can contain so much interesting info and events, people act more diverse. the themes are weird and some may cause seizures but overall pretty fucking great. weird shit may not be the stereotypical furry and porn or spooky internet stuff but also more onto specific kinds of topics you may not even know existed.

    anyway Rest in peace (presumably) to the big three, phpBB myBB SMF.

    What must be done?

    In the days where these kinds of communities are dying, is the most important time for everyone to recreate a dying community, bring it back from the dead. Take examples of the successful communities of the past. look at guides like runyourown.social jot down what do you want to do in it. there is no point of a community doesn’t have a goal, or at least some fun stuff going on.

    You have all the tools you have to create whatever kind of dogshit network service, and more. hell, everything you see in the internet nowadays you can run on a VPS. a voice chat server, a social network, forum, email, video streaming platform, game servers, you name it.

    So, any of you who wants to save this thing. Write something down. and just do it.

    and stop fucking complaining on blogs.
