Extremely creepy. Queued my account for deletion. Matrix it is.

    The alternative is IRC. I’m not sure why that’s not an option anymore when Discord is just IRC with a few extra features.

          IRC’s netsplits still haunt me in my sleep. jk

          At least then when someone was considered a nuissance they got kickbaned instead of their account deleted because someone somewhere somehow got offended. Thicker skin crowd i guess, did allow for more discourse.

          In IRC’s heyday online communication was mostly centered in groups (the channels) rather than 1:1. In the age of whatsapp 1:1 is king, kinda sad. It’s my perception at least.

          I still do think XMPP is a better IRC though, more modern.
