@evan I’ll note that for maintainers that are inactive for an extended period of time well freeze or revoke access for security reasons, but if they come back then we just give it back. It’s all just based on trust and mutual respect. Been doing it for 20 years now with success
@mitchellh ok, let me know when it's done.

eBay's "AI" at work, extremely valuable information here
@thomasfuchs It’s the only way to listen to Dark Side of the Moon.

"AI is built on the collective knowledge of humankind."
No. Nononononono. It is not built on _knowledge_, it it built on _data_. And not everyone's experiences are available as data, many communities are excluded. Also: "Collective" implies some sort of collaboration and shared activity. But "AI" is just accumulation by a few powerful.
So No. It's not collective but extractive, not knowledge but data, not humankind but the hegemonic western view. Everything in that statement is wrong.
@evan @mitchellh evan, please stop being a dick to people replying honestly in good faith to your polls because your wording was unclear about the secret second question. you know better <3
@brooke @mitchellh it's not a secret question. "How much time should one dedicate to maintaining an Open Source project" is really straightforward. It's a practical question about bug triage, dependency management, and maybe making some progress or adding new features. If the question was about mushy bullshit, I wouldn't have given fixed time constraints.

@Mrfunkedude I can't believe I missed watching the odometer turn over to 5,000!
@Alice yeah it happened yesterday, but I didn’t wanna say anything because I could lose three followers pretty easily, and be right back under 5k. 😆
But yeah, FINALLY. 😁👍

If you're interested in funding or helping us find funding for a Discord replacement that's federated and end-to-end encrypted, we're interested in implementing that at @spritely ... we even had been talking about that being our big focus for 2026.
We have the skills and the underlying tech to pull this off. What we need right now is resources. Funding for open source nonprofits like ours really fell apart in 2025. If you think you know how to help, feel free to reach out.
@NunavutBirder Is that your grandfather waving? Thanks for sharing the story.
Have you seen the documentary "They Shall Not Grow Old"? Curious what you thought of it, if so.
@fembot I have not seen it.
I may throw too many pitches to get there, by my closing paragraphs are fire.
@lina Not sure why you wouldn't want E2EE by default for text? Maybe in a 'public forum' context it doesn't make sense, but I wouldn't call most Discord rooms that, exactly. If anything video and audio are less information dense and more expensive/difficult to analyse, ergo less valuable and less in need of E2EE.
I for one don't really want advertisers and LLMs crawling all my private chats.
It's definitely not a Discord replacement, and has a lot of warts, though, I agree with you there.
@ktims Of course you'd *want* E2EE. The problem is you can't have it without jank, as Matrix demonstrates.
E2EE imposes a series of tradeoffs (with history, search, multiple clients, etc.). Matrix is an attempt at solving those problems, and it's a failure. I do not believe it's practical to solve those problems without jank.
Signal is the best, cleanest implementation of E2EE widely available, and it comes with clear documented limitations that make it not a suitable competitor for Discord.
You simply can't have your E2EE cake and eat it too. Sorry.
