Quite true there is some irony to that. There has been a little talk of building a local first community platform, sadly doesn't exist yet.

- Znafon 3y agoIsn't that what email and mailing lists are for?
- samwillis 3y agoThey are hosting monthly meet-ups - mini conferences - with video chat and presentations. Not local first solution to that yet.

- yonz 3y agoThis is interesting, been putting off setting up a discord <> Matrix bridge but will have to tackle this.
- rolandog 3y agoFor the uploaded videos, perhaps PeerTube? For live presentations... could Jitsi suffice?
- jedahan 3y agoDiscord's UX is miles ahead of Element, and I setup and maintain communities on that use both. For something like local-first, like a local principled makerspace, we are happy to deal with the friction and try and contribute back on Matrix/Element. That said, infrastructure churn can be disruptive. Don't envy your position.
- raxxorraxor 3y agoThe problem of Discord is discoverability. Is you project known on the web? What about resources? In the end you might develop for a few other developers, but only those that happened to run into the correct invite links. Everyone else will believe your project is dead.
