the other decent options are matrix and simplex chat, and mayyyybe session. matrix seems to have the most users and kick to it right now. out of those options. but yeah youre not gonna get the average tech illiterate person to get on a more complicated alternative to discord, essentially

Only reason I’d recommend signal to anyone is that its one of the few encrypted apps that doesnt have awful onboarding. A boomer can figure it out.

the boob jiggle physics are genuinely ridiculous on this mod, i just watched the preview. gamers are brain broken

Communication is the first step in providing assistance to people

Signal unfortunately has a big barrier to entry (cell phone), many people that cannot afford that or not allowed it by family will be left out. Also verification via phone number means the government knows you’re using it for sure and they can try the big wrench method on you. If you do need to use it just download Molly.

Yeah, I fully recommend it for 1 on 1 secure comms. Discord is much better replaced by Matrix, though

Certain sites are far more secure, they scramble IP and show their code.

GUI absolutely does matter for helping adoption of linux, I’m not interested in hearing arguments to the contrary either. Everything should be as GUI’d as possible if we want linux to grow

I personally found it kinda jank. Mint feels best for a laymans gaming distro ime

Thought these surveys were cool!

I feel like trans spaces or moving more towards building our own infrastructure rather than relying on certain genocidal megacorporations like Facebook, so thats probably part of the decline in use of apps like this.

Doubt it, I messaged them about either possibility, crickets. Maybe if they had a trans person or simply someone that isn’t a guy on the team it would be different. Right now I fully suggest swapping to hexbear if you want a safer space for trans people, but if you’re fine with wading through bullshit, other places are fine I guess.

Nutomic is still a site admin, nothings been done. I fully suggest if you want a more safe and secure place for trans people to move to hexbear. They have a lot of very friendly and inclusive trans people there and are very active and have something like 50 trans mods/admins. You can browse their comms from lemmy.ml if you want to take a look at them

I would ban him from here but to do that he has to make a post so 🤷‍♀️. Lemmy.ml admin team is 100% a boys club and its why this instance is so bad. I personally use lemmy.ml to check on trans spaces across the fediverse, I feel like thats the only use case its good for.

🫡

an empty () is completely valid, imo. or even (friend) or (ally) or (any) or something. i definitely would recommend discussing with yor, she could probably help explain why this is a rule, but i get you.
