@beehaw.orgI guess so. But mainly why that's only being spelled out in law now rather than earlier. ~Strawberry
That's another major problem. Waiting for that is like waiting on the lottery to read your number. Well, maybe not quite the lottery, more like some sweepstakes that's kinda popular but not really? I don't know, you get the point. ~Strawberry
Why do people always seem to pick the most horrible responses to crises?... ;-; ~Strawberry
How would we make sure politicians and enforcement agencies even enforce such policies? Especially with lobbying and all that... ~Strawberry
My question is why is this only being spelled out now? Hell, where and why did the contrary idea come from in the first place??? ~Strawberry
I do have a few of questions about that site that basically explain why people haven't moved there. Does it have the same level of software support (bots, clients, etc)? Does it have a similarly large set of large and niche communities to Discord? Does it have a barrier to entry as low or lower than Discord? Is there both a large incentive for friend groups and communities to move to Revolt and a large disincentive to stay on Discord that the average person cares about enough to act upon? It doesn't seem like the prognosis for Revolt overtaking Discord is very good, unfortunately. I wish I knew how to overcome all of that and the network effect but I don't, unfortunately. One major problem is that it's not unlikely that Revolt servers could become effectively centralized in practice if it does overtake Discord simply because the vast majority of people to not have the time, knowledge, or resources to read and modify Revolt's code and/or host their own web server. ~Strawberry
The issue is a social platform is useless without the social aspect. If someone's entire friend group is on one site, they're unlikely to move to another. Trying to get the whole friend group to move is also easier said than done due to inertia and t eother members of the friend group also being in communities and friend groups that aren't on the new platform. Now imagine that on the scale of a site like Discord and combine it with FOSS alternatives often have fewer features, less software support (for bots, clients, etc), and higher barriers to entry and you have a recipe for disaster for many new social media platforms. ~Strawberry
Why not use a forum so that search engines can actually index information from the support site? Users are capable of going to forums. ~Strawberry
Assuming they care enough to do so. But with all the SEO spam that's flooding their search results that they don't seem to be doing much about, I'm not optimistic. ~Cherri
Why do they prioritize money and power over the welfare of society? What makes them think it's a good idea? ~Cherri
