Reminder to everyone that Discord is pushing out ID Verification any day now, and is already selling all the data and discussions on its platform to fascist surveillance company Palantir, most well known for recent AI-Powered Civillian tracking system "Flock Cams", owned and operated by Billionaire Peter Theil who helped reelect Donald Trump.

That's why I moved to Stoat and at some point in the future plan to self-host.

Thanks for the reminder, I needed to put my stoat and fluxer info on my discord profile.

does stoat have audio notifications yet? 6 months ago when I tried it that was my dealbreaker.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 14 hours ago

I get notifications on my KDE desktop but idk for anything else. They only recently released their mobile version, so there is still a lot of work being done behind the scenes.

I wish stoat consistently worked for me, it didn't so I switched to matrix

I'm old and not that bright. Stoat?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

It's a type of mustelid (weasels, otters, and the like)

These are the names of services that provide channels with customized text chats and video or VoIP audio calls. Stoat is replacing Discord which replaced Skype which replaced the more rudimentary early applications of the 2000s and 90s such as Mumble. There are also business-oriented softwares such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams with different features.

The word can also refer to a small furry animal.

What is Discord? /s

I have a hosted Matrix serving sitting around for this reason. Trying to get folks to use it is another story 😢

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 1 points 11 hours ago

I'm still trying to get people onto signal instead of RCS.

I'm hoping that Fluxer will be an easier option for my friends once the mobile apps are a bit more polished. I tried to get them to Matrix, but the experience just wasn't quite smooth enough.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 9 points 1 day ago

Yeah it's rather jarring for those coming from discord. For us old goats it's a bit more palatable, kind of like IRC+++. But we aren't the median user.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm a bit worried about Matrix + Element because of some supposed ties to Israeli Intelligence organizations.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 5 points 1 day ago

Oh? I’ll have to look into that. That’s enough for me to consider something else altogether.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the day ID verification is rolled out discord will see a huge drop in numbers. Maybe not enough to end discord, but enough that they won't have the revenue or data sets to sell anymore.
