The amount of niche info that would have been found in searchable forum posts in years prior, that has now gotten sucked up into Discord where it can’t be found, fucking blows.
And imagine if public facing forums weren’t mostly dead because of the “necroposting” hate moderator brainworm
Oops this discussion from 2017 is the number one google link for your niche topic ? Well, too bad, post in new and maybe in five years it will be #2 post on google for that topic.
Who put the nerds with no friends in charge of human social interaction ‽
I don’t know what you mean by “necroposting” hate moderator brainworm". Care to elaborate one what this I and why it is bad?
It’s very common for forums to have rules against posting in a thread that hasn’t seen any activity for an arbitrary amount of time. When you do that, you will often cause a thread that has fallen from the front page to bump back to the top of the front page. It’s not clear why this is a problem, though. Maybe regulars just dislike seeing old topics brought back up?
It’s the snowball effect.
Most people can’t think for themselves, so they just do what everyone else is doing.
If you deviate from the crowd, then you’re in the wrong.
Yeah. Closing threads after a few days or getting mad at users for replying to old posts is stupid and bandwagony.
relying on discord for all your comms
Once again, privacy-disrespecring discord is nuking things to keep its own ass safe. FOSS devs, when will you ever learn?
Matrix is literally there.
Just host your own god damn servers alongside your webpage (assuming it’s not running on Guthub pages)I looked into matrix servers the other day for an unrelated reason and tbh the amount of resources they ask for is way more than you need for a webpage (dendrite asks for 1gb ram minimum for a number of users, and that’s without accounting for postgres)
So that’s an absolute lie, I run synapse + WhatsApp bridge with 500MiB. Dendrite is supposed to be more efficient
That’s what their docs say:
At an absolute minimum, Dendrite will expect 1GB RAM. For a comfortable day-to-day deployment which can participate in federated rooms for a number of local users, be prepared to assign 2-4 CPU cores and 8GB RAM — more if your user count increases.
That’s not accounting for Postgres.
Weird how it requires all of that for http requests.
Something tells me it could be more efficient.
