  • Especially with how often today you’ll find a gaming or software project with little to no available documentation and just a “Join the discord!” Link somewhere as a replacement. Discord is neither indexable nor archivable on the public internet, and when it eventually shuts down, an incredible amount of orphaned software projects with no public documentation will fade away. And this doesn’t at all mention how terrible a chat platform is as a drop in for organizing gestalt knowledge

    The meta problem to that is the super rich are gambling on failure just as much as they gamble on success. They have their super portfolios so spread out that if something fails they may lose money on the thing but make more money on the effects of the failure with other investments. And for the most part, they don’t handle that at all, it’s data science run hedge funds that are running trillions of calculations a minute as markets and global shifts occur to ensure that “line go up” for the accounts they manage, which results in a lose-lose for everyone else, because often the bad social things happening are more profitable so they will try to move the market in that way. Hypercapitalism is fucked



  • And RCS is only supported on Androids with Google or Samsung’s messaging apps, so therefore requires you to buy an android. However since iMessage is cross platform through Apple’s ecosystem, I would still rate it higher than RCS for ease of use. And I would certainly rate it higher than matrix or signal, as they require you to install additional software than what comes with a device.


  • Right, the rating list is generic, whereas it should be categorized. For example while iMessage is a walled garden, if the list was sorted by ease of use, it should be first, as it’s nearly zero-configuration for the end user and they get encrypted messaging. Matrix would be first on open access (if we weren’t counting SMS), because it’s available on so many platforms and clients. Signal probably wins on security, though I don’t know enough about it to verify that. So on and so forth
