Every project that uses Discord for their community thingy is now effectively saying: papers please, or you are not welcome in our community.
Every. Single. One.
I saw this on a Finnish post, so let me reformulate it a bit and post it in English.
Finnish universities 1996:
"Here's an operating system we created for you. Here's a chat network we created you can use with the operating system."
Finnish universities 2026:
"We don't know how to replace Facebook for public communications."
Learned helplessness.
Alright well this is very much a WIP but it's already more info than I've found on this subject anywhere else on the web: the fandom discord to IRC migration page is live!
Has anyone figured out how to use ActivityPub to make something IRC or Discord shaped?
