All the action is on Discord and Mastodon these days.

  Discord is just fancy IRC

    No, it's much more than that. Matrix is fancy IRC.

    Whenever someone says this I can only presume they've never used at least one of the two. Or think that IRC invented the concept of text messaging Zoom is just fancy telegraphy

      sorry my sarcasm didn't make it through the computer screen
      • tmtvl 3y ago
        Sarcasm is usually conveyed through any of tone of voice, facial expression, or gesticulation; none of which transmit through the written word. Standard operating procedure is to add something like /s.

          I have chosen to interpret your response as sarcasm

  Mastodon? Do you mean Fediverse / Activitypub? No one should call IRC "mirc", email "outlook", or the web "chrome", come on bro.

    It is routinely called Mastodon. Your response is a fantastic example of why nerd communities suck.
    • robobro 3y ago
      Nerd communities, you mean reddit? Mastodon is like the Internet Explorer of Activitypub software. It's what a lot of people think is fediverse. But developers and power users prefer Firefox and have many valid reasons to dislike Internet Explorer.

    Nobody should call hook-and-loop fastener 'velcro' either, but good luck changing people's habits.
