I think it would be a great idea to have something like a discord chat to talk in voice chat but I know that some people do not like discord so we would need to find an alternative. Do you have any idea? And I would suggest having a new ‘‘discord like sub’’ only for this community. What do you think?
We have a Matrix.org chat for the admins, we could also start a public one. Definitely better than Discord (eww) or Telegram, cause its open source and federated.
Yea that sounds like a great idea, I never used Matrix.org so how does it work and what does it do?
Well its another open source chat tool. Its federated, meaning there are multiple servers where you can sign up, and talk with people no matter which server they are on. Plus the French government is going to use it, so they will invest a lot of resources in the development.
Okay it sounds great but if the French government put money into it, won’t they try to get a hand on it and use it to maybe spy on the people using it?
Well its all open source, and anyone can run their own server. So it would be hard for them to spy on the users.
Well in that case in sound really great if anybody is able to make a server for the community of Lemmy it would be really great I think!
We are not going to run our own server, its not that easy from what I heard. But you can join any instance on this list (I am on the official instance for now).
It’s coming up with: Error 502 bad gateway.
nvm I think I’ve found it through riot.im
