"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

New Discord clone ("Harmony") with a suspiciously AI-looking website, a single contributor, and blistering development = AI. Took me a minute to find it but it looks like they were scrubbed from a few places ~3 weeks ago.

Discord alternatived are appearing like fungi and apparently vibe coders notice that, i discovered about 2 new vibe slopped discord alternatives in less than 2 days

Yeah there was nothing for years and years and then Discord introduced age verification and they were popping up like crazy, every one of them cuck coded. Sharkord, Chatto, Roomy, I'm sure others I'm forgetting. And now this.

Luckly there is still stuff like Stoat that does not seem vibe coded (or at least it wasn't last time i checked?)

Last time I ckecked, Stoat had a closed source Android app. I also feel like of you can, you should just run Matrix. It works, and feels a lot more versatile than those attempted Discord clones, especially due to federation.

Tbh i don't really like Matrix, especially because the most selling feature of discord for me is the guild and role system with granular permission management

Yeah. From what I heard around the c10y community, that is something people are aware of, and might be improved/expanded, but I agree that the current power level solution is not very flexible. It is, however, sufficient for my usecase.
