You’re missing the issue, unfortunately. What you say is technically correct, but as long as a minority id actively persecuted they have to be actively shown to be normal and nice people to, well, normalize their existence. And right now the evil people are winning, so it’s even more important to mention it. We’re as far away from trans being normalized like left-handedness as it gets.

I see why this might even annoys some, but it’s not trans people who want to be in this situation. We (yes, hello 👋) just want to fucking live our lifes in peace and happiness, without the constant (additional) fighting and fear for our life.

About Lemmy… well, it’s the current alternative to corporate media. It’s just natural that those who’re vilified and cast’ out are the first to arrive here, as well as their allies. 😉

Refreshing rain > deadly laser

They’re extremely new and open about what’s missing though. Their plans apparently got somewhat thrown all over the place by the sudden extreme interest and quite a few things aren’t yet in place (such as the self-hosting guide). Still works surprisingly well, and what they do goes into the right direction (no VC funding or investors, removal of the CLA, bound to GDPR, a full FOSS atack, etc).

Element is still as buggy as ever, unfortunately…

The only realistic alternative I’ve found so far is Fluxer, and that one is still in Beta. Very promising though.

Yeah, this is on me this time. Not sure what drove me there.

Doesn’t your local DNS has to reach out to another DNS to query yet unknown addresses, causing an infinite loop as it’s now told to reach out to itself?

Might be a stupid question, but how are PR’s connected to your server deployment?

Renovate?

Good thing there isn’t a filter for “has working voice channels that aren’t a hot mess”, the list would be immediately and fully empty. With the exception of Mumble perhaps, but that one instead doesn’t have any text channels or community features.

Absolutely not impossible for a skilled dev with lots of free time. This is still an Alpha after all.

Where do I even start…

• The verification process constantly breaks
• Sessions get randomly unverified
• Pictures aren’t being send occasionally
• Their client is a UI/UX catastrophe
• Room Events are incompatible (esp. w/ Element X)
• The “experimental” voice rooms are total trash, settings are not working (e.g. auto-gain can’t be disabled)
• The Calls via Jitsi somehow have a worse UX than Skype had in its worst days
• The verification via emojis uses different emoji styles, missing the point completely
• Due to the session mess “Can’t decrypt message” will be your best friend
• Even if you got a verified session it sometimes fails to decrypt a message
• The federation is SLOW. As in “wait many many minutes” slow.
• The whole Spaces-with-detached-rooms concept is a mess
• There’re no proper moderation tools
• There isn’t even a god damn admin panel! For the longest time you had to MANUALLY CURL THE API. Even today you have to mess with third-party admin panels that usually don’t have all options exposed
• Encryption is nice, but Matrix leaking tons of metadata isn’t.
• They effectively stopped developing the Element client in favour of Element X, which isn’t available in desktop. And also loves to break during verification.
• Third-party clients sometimes work better, but certainly don’t expect anything but text chats with pictures there.

I really tried to like it, I even attempted to move a community over, attempted to self-host, all the jazz. It’s a steaming mess for years now with no end in sight, and literally everyone who tried it eventually left disenchanted. Don’t even bother trying it.

This is political agitprop again, from a fresh account as usual.

Because Stoat is also riddled with problems and Matrix is a dysfunctional hot mess.

David Revoy is a known artist, this is his art style.

So confidentally wrong. Don’t blame you though, by now it’s hard to tell if you don’t know the artist.

David Revoy is known for his “Pepper & Carrot” series, among other things.

Do you want a scene-by-scene explanation of every command shown?

I understood everything, and I hate it.

Look at the kind of comics coming from those accounts in particular. They’re all political. Same currently happens when you browse #meme on the Fedi in general, endless agitprop accounts freshly created who do nothing but post political memes with a few normal ones sprinkled in for plausible deniability.

Funny how they don’t even have faces and one still assumes they look sleep deprived (because it’s usually true).
