I've heard this described as "the 1% Rule", which more or less goes like: In online communities, 1% of the users generate 90% of the content, 9% of the users create 10% of the content by reacting to, modifying or generally interacting with that 1%, and the other 90% of people are lurkers. This fits quite well with what I've seen on online communities myself for decades. So, if you alienate that 1%, your community will eventually either disappear or become a hollow reflection of what it used to be.

Yet it still must be done

This site is in the US, is there a mirror for if/when they decide to target it?

As someone who hasn't used any of the advanced Discord features (audio/video/streaming), and neither has really tried Revolt, how far along is it these days? I heard it was aiming for 100% feature parity but was behind in those advanced ones, but that was some years ago and haven't kept up, it would be very good if it was at least at "acceptable" level in all those by the time Discord goes IPO

First i hear of this one, interesting, how far along is it?

Never say never, once Discord goes IPO and the enshittification goes bad enough to annoy gamers Discord is fucked, and Revolt is a drop-in replacement, the fact that it can be self-hosted will also be a plus for some people, mass migrations are rare but they DO happen

I need a stack of these stickers, had to deface a nazi one the other day manually with a marker like a savage

Only if it actually worked as the salespeople said it does, we have used this tech enough to know that it very much does not do what they say it can do

Zerg rush kekeke

I am completely at a loss as how will this be implemented OR enforced

Too damn bad then, hopefully this will help

And a sea mine? 😂

MANY apps currently have these unneeded tracker parameters, here's Youtube

This right here, this isn't conscientious analysis of tech and intellectual honesty or whatever, it's a calculated shot at it's competitors who are desperately trying to prevent the generative AI market house of cards from falling

I suggest you subscribe to Cory Doctorow's and Ed Zitron's mailing lists, those are two people that regularly write about those people and what are they up to

The only other alternative is Chrome-based browsers, you know, the browser made by the gigantic ad company
