  • If we want an open chat service, I’dd look into Matrix, which is federated like kbin/lemmy. Its also a work in progress, but it does support both text chat and voice/video chat. And it does have rudimentary “spaces” which lets you group channels and such, which makes it easy for people to discover the channels in our community.


  • I know you asked for a gaming chair but I will advise you to reconsider. Most gaming chairs are not really that good and are quite expensive for what you get.

    I bought one and it wasn’t really all that great and it only lasted a few years before becoming entirely unusable. I paid similar a normal office chair after that and it is infinitely better and has outperformed the gaming chair in all regards. It don’t look as slick though

    David Zhang on youtube does a lot of reviews of office chairs, maybe this can help out

  • I’m not against corporations integrating with the fediverse, but I do think that federating with Meta will be a net negative for the fediverse as a whole, atleast in its current state.

    First of all, In a purely practical sense, since we’re still struggling to keep different instances in sync with the amount of content that is here today. We’re going to have a real bad time trying to sync threads content, while they can probably sync the rest of the fediverse without breaking a sweat. I am afraid that we’re going to drastically increase the compute necessary to maintain a cohesive fediverse, and that we’re just going to hand Meta the keys to the castle as they are the only one able to provide this service at that scale. This is probably less of an issue for Mastodon, where you subscribe to users and not communities.

    Furthermore, I’ll come out and say that I like that this place is more niche. I’ve found a lot more joy posting here than i did on reddit or twitter, despite the lower user count. I don’t think that access to a large user base is necessarily going to make this a better place for the group that is here now. I think we as a fediverse needs to grow a bit as a community before we can even hope to take in Meta without it warping the entire community to the point that its no longer itself.
