What the fuck is their deal?
Imagine not being terrified by discord. A million channels whizzing past you with no clear opportunity to participate, it's like being around a circle of friends and acquaintances and never knowing if you're actually in the conversation or not.
I really only enjoy smaller discord servers, the big ones with the fast moving channels are a headache to deal with.
I like this post because it prompted me to think of ways to get chapo discorders onto the site. We're over 3300 users now, which is a huge success so close to launch, and its rising rapidly. I'm pretty sure the majority of that is people in the discord going 'fuck, fine.'
I think a lotta people just need a lil prompt; we gotta make it look like the cool thing to do ;) hahaha
Honestly, there is huge value in both communities imo. :af-heart:
having better platforms than discord would be ideal tho; even if that's the preferred format. discord is deeply fucked as a platform.
Full agree. I'm the #1 shitposter on discord main, and I both hate discord and don't trust it.
One of the middle-distance goals for the devs is to eventually migrate the discord onto a self-hosted matrix server . :red-fist:
That's great! Feel free to DM me or any of the mods any time if you or anyone you know would like to help out with development .
Discord has a "suppress @everyone" feature that 70% of the userbase uses. This results in people not receiving the @everyone message you sent out.
You can bypass this by making a new role on the discord. Adding literally the entire discord into it. Then use that to send an @ ping out.
Harass people to join.
I think this is a brilliant point, and I've sent it over for the brilliant minds on the development team to consider :) good shout, comrade :chavez-salute:
You should also consider a bot DMing everyone on the server that the site is up.
Thanks for this idea! The outreach team is talking about it now, so again, thanks so much :)
The suggestion has been made already but a matrix chat box as part of the site would be dope.
I don't agree with chat, it's addictive, but if they must do it let them do it here at home. Harm reduction :grinning face:
Hahaha harm reduction, I love that. You can see in your userpage that front-end exists for matrix integration. It's not up and running yet, but integration is definitely in the cards. And it will be majestic.
Then we can slowly win over comrades from the dark side of the chatstream looks at own hands
Do these embedded images display for others? Because they don't for me.
What embedded images are you talkin about? Do you mean the emojis, like the :af-heart: you get when you type
: af-heart :?Hey! So, I have an answer for you!
You have to have 'See NSFW' turned on on your user profile to see the custom emojis for now. Basically, the devs were concerned about imageposting, and so made the user NSFW filter apply to emojis as a quick fix. This will not be the permanent situation, but, for now, if you want to see the custom chapo emojis, you have to enable See NSFW content on your user profile page.
So I do get that it's not the most elegant solution, but that's the answer for now. Sometime not too long from now you'll be able to see emojis and still have NSFW content filtered out, the devs are working diligently :thumbs up:
Ok, this... is a bug. Thank you for mentioning it, and for the screenshots. I'll bring it up with the devs :)
Discorders are only the tip of the iceberg, the mods need to reach out to reddit mods of leftist subs, and tell them we relocated to chapo.chat. Remember, the discord only had a bit more than 10k, we have more than 150k when we got banned, which means the overwhelming majority of our comrades stayed on reddit.
Something to understand. At least a portion of that was just reddit liberals who agreed with some of what we said or enjoyed highly upvoted Bernie posts but who would never move to another website and resented most of our content anyways but wouldn't see it as they just had us as another subscription on their home feed. I would bet at least half the subscriber numbers were people like that.
Admittedly we had 3-5k people online and browsing the sub at any given hour of the day and that's pretty impressive so probably still looking at several tens of thousands of people who could be willing to be users.
Yeah, remember when online communities are deplatformed, a substantial percent of people don't move onto other platforms. It's why deplatforming subreddits generally works, but in this case it's turned against us.
I was planning for the day I could spring this artwork upon an unsuspecting audience.
I think they're a bunch of libs too drunk on instant gratification to do the right thing, and come on over!
Now this is the kind of dynamic thinking we need on the mod team. Forwarding your suggestion immediately, comrade :sankara-salute:
Whenever I do it I get this error
foundNo webpage was found for the web address: https://hexbear.net/static/assets
PSA: if you’re on a phone and you “add to homescreen” (instructions vary by platform) the emulated-app experience is quite nice. Removes a lot of the browser chrome and gives you more leg room to post in
I'm using hermit to make do for now but this is a big issue for many. Like I think the mobile app that's supposedly coming will lead to a fairly large jump in our numbers.
I need card view to use it all the time, I get a fatigued like it is right now.
New reddit is haram and was made for selling ads and not maximizing utilization of screenspace.
Card view is fine, I have a fatwa.
In all seriousness, is much better specially for memes and tweeter screenshot which is 99% of the content that makes people come to this place.
The spirit of the discord is different from a reddit like forum space, due to the nature of how posts are presented. I prefer the reddit/lemmy format, but of those who migrated from the sub to the discord, im sure some prefer discord, including the abikity for voice discussion and to have large community discussions.
Additionally there are many groups on the discord that are not yet on here, such as the internationale groups, the struggle sessions groups, the ideology groups, and the same atomization of hobby groups. If any of those are your main area of interest, you are better served on the discord while the chat is still slowly ramping up (as they should to prevent raids)
Tl;Dr the chat isn't "done, done" yet, and people prefer the format of the discord to the current chat. A slow trickle for now is fine
I hate discord but I said from day one once it was implemented they were going to be stubborn as fuck about letting it go until discord itself actually shuts us down for saying slave owners are bad. Especially as the most stubborn "no discord only" people are new users who were barely on the subreddit and jumped to the Ark by chance.
not only do you need to keep track of one insanely fast chat stream, there are also like 30 others going at any given time..... ppls pod and lemmy discussion was it for me XD
personally it makes my social anxiety go crazy. i used to love chat rooms long ago
No there are two chapo discord now. The Ark discord was new (you can actually see the date created if you look). The other chapo discord was the existing one.
I got screamed at and accused of being from destiny or vaush or some youtubers discord and nearly banned. I didn’t even do anything I was adjacent to some other people and it was assumed i was with them. serious paranoia and not welcoming there
Slowly but surely. Go in there and harass them to do it quicker.
Discord is different than the message board style we have here. Some people might just prefer that. Live chat can be pretty nice
Anyone who prefers IRC-style internet chat to forum-style internet chat clearly doesn't have enough social anxiety to be on the internet in the first place.
This is an opinion I have held since the 90s and I won't be changing my mind any time soon.
I grew up using mIRC in the early 2000s. It was the foundation of my early internet experiences. I'm pretty used to chat-esque applications because of that I think. And yes, I do have social anxiety.
late 90s/early 00s irc and motherfucking AOL erotic roleplay chatrooms (that evolved into private rooms and a cool circle of creative sexytime friends). god i was so young and cringe and horny
Before Napster I used to pirate mp3s using IRC bots that DCC'd the file straight to you.
Me too :(
At least they got the whole tour rescheduled. If by some grace of god covid numbers are low enough next summer, there’ll be at least one positive thing in the world to look forward to.
It is nice to know I have tickets to some shows, even if they're over a year away. There will be Phish again, even if it's not next summer.
New Trey album isn't bad for a bunch of home recorded tracks.
Yes! At the very least with having tickets right now, we won't have go through lottery again or get caught in the mayhem that's going to be trying to get tickets at public on-sale (since the tour will be in incredibly high demand).
His latest Instagram videos have been freaking me out lol
Come to think of it, I don't think my Creek tickets ever came in the mail. I wonder if that's normal considering everything? Pretty sure I got my Gorge tickets.
Yeah, those videos are fucking bonkers, dude. Just Trey staring unsettlingly into his phone singing with a suit on for some reason.
I’m pretty sure the gorge tickets were the only ones mailed out if I’m not mistaken.
Quarantine really got to him lol
I finally made my account after lurking for a few days and honestly this place is just kinda depressing. Even compared to the original sub the memes and twitter screenshots feel particularly stale. I think one of the things you can't replace about the reddit is that sometimes you'd have fresh blood circulating in from outside the ecosystem to help keep things relatively fresh. Or maybe it's just that you have to click on every individual meme to enlarge them on mobile.
Disguise as a Hillary Clinton appreciation forum for three days then come back and bully the libs
Discord can be overwhelming but posting to a message board vs chatting in real time is a completely different experience
Chapo.chat is for posts you want others to see, discord is for shameful posts you want to get out of your system but want others to forget.
Keep in mind you can see a discord user’s entire history from the moment they made their account. Search —->
