  • Yeah these people are just stupid.

    “Oh, hell no!” the user Sketchette wrote. “The beauty of this platform was the NOT sharing of information. Especially gen AI. Don’t you cave now.”

    No you fucking idiot, it has a open API, anyone has been able to extract as much data as they want for any purpose and thats good. Same as all the actual fediverse platforms. The thing that should get people worried is that Bluesky has the power to universally make and enforce this and any decision they want because its a shitty centralized platform like any other social media site.














  • I wrote a somewhat lengthy “Introduction to Matrix/Element” comment for someone here recently. If you arent paranoid, then you can ignore the sections about not using and removing the web client session after account creation. Let me know if you have any trouble.

    The comment in question: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/16768943

    To use element like discord (with servers and voice channels) you will create a Space(=discord-server) and then add Rooms(=discord-channels) to it.

    Normal rooms are usually text only but you can still start a video call (doesnt have video on by default) inside one which all room members will get notified for.

    To get something like voice channels you create a “video room” which people can then join and it acts like a voice channel that also has screen sharing and video functionality.

    There is full permission management so you can give everyone in the space access to all rooms or use levels like guest/member/moderator/admin/owner etc or you make it invite only. Lots of options.
