Remember when morgius morged all over those guys?

Damn

I actually think that’s the best case because it would kill enterprise adoption of AI overnight. All the corps with in-house AI keep using and pushing it, but every small to medium business that isn’t running AI locally will throw it out like yesterday’s trash. OpenAI’s stock price will soar and then plummet.

The Matrix protocol sends the channel name and icon from server to user client. It’s one extra field to add the ordinality. Two extra fields to add the category and ordinality. Adding your idea onto My idea so users can also reorder channels after the space moderator orders them would be ideal, but please don’t mistake My suggestion for the idea you came up with.

Your group arrangement should either be under user account preferences, or local client settings

I disagree. On Discord, channels are sorted and grouped by the server admins. This is good UX design because it gives every user on a server the same experience of the channels, and doesn’t require users to all replicate a bunch of the same work.

What you’re proposing as a solution is that every single user in a Matrix space is responsible for sorting and grouping all of the channels in the space that they’ve joined. That’s a ridiculous proposal because 99% of users aren’t going to go to that ridiculous effort, they’re going to be happy with the default settings. I think your idea is better than Matrix’s current setup, but it’s far worse than Discord from a usability perspective.

I think that means people use Discord for twelve completely different things

Are you saying you want the moderators of a Discord server to decide whether users on the server use dark mode or light mode?

HTML and CSS are also protocols. But I think a better analogy is RSS. RSS carries information about the order of posts, which clients can use however they want. I think that’s the right way to do this feature.

If it’s not supported by the protocol, how is an admin’s sorting of channels supposed to be pushed to the users in the server? It won’t work, it can’t be a client option. If it has to be a client option and it can’t, then it’s impossible.

I don’t like Matrix because you can’t sort and categorise channels in a server. The most recently messaged in channel is always at the top. That’s not the UX I want, I want to be able to put things in places with intentionality.

Sad times. I’ll be all in when a competitor gets all the essential features replicated.

Does it have video streaming yet?

I love Stoat’s UI but video streaming is an absolute must for My use case and last I checked they said it wasn’t a priority

I think this thing where they use predictive analytics to read your mind is worse than listening to your phone’s mic. It’s more invasive.

Yeah, I was editing the code yesterday and realised we were both wrong. What it actually does is prevent the automatic bulk federator, which is a tool only admins have, from fetching those communities. It doesn’t affect the manual community fetcher, which is what users use. So it doesn’t limit user capabilities, only admin capabilities for automation. Also, the commit you linked is super out of date, the code is very different now.

Oh boy oh boy, I think I’m about to receive a fun link with more Nutomic bad takes

I wonder if they mean the genocide-denying lemmy admin or the transphobic lemmy admin. It’s easy to mix those two guys up

I recommend MULTIVERSE, the anarcho-antirealist PieFed server. We have a karma system the same as Reddit, which you’re used to, and we don’t do any extra processing of the score. Some PieFed sites ignore karma earned on meme communities to prevent repost farming, but on MULTIVERSE, we just look at upvotes - downvotes, and unlike Reddit, your karma score means absolutely nothing for your ability to post on communities.

Me shocked to learn that PieFed (the software I am currently using) will delete My comment if it starts with a gif (like this one does)

No, just one purpose, the second one.
