Hell prosody has a module for sending invites.

I’d argue sending someone xxxx@server.fuck and a password is even easier.

Step 1: Download Monal, Snikket or Conversations Step 2: toss this info in Step 3: ??? Profit

but how do I send-

use a pastebin

This is the point where you both turn to eachother and say XMPP! at the same time, right?

I have four 8TB drives from last year and 4 externals from my old build that were healthy when they came off the last system.

I might be a little ragged in 10 years but I’ll still have a disk spinning if they aren’t arresting wireguard users for terrorism by then.

Time to buy some sbc boards so I can actually host content in ten years, with whoever’s software considering the foss devs will be broke.

Thank fuck I’m a millennial and I only have thirty more years on the disappointment machine.

If you’re under 30, learn how to shoot. You won’t be doing much hosting.

Sorry to break it for you, but no one actually plays Doom anymore.

We’re the target market to end.

I’ll host my photos on a jailbroken pregnancy test.

Aside from group chats and iffy onboarding. It’s ok?

Conversations and Snikket make it psedo-easy.

For onboarding for apps like this, top server owners should offer to be featured as places to register, maybe sorted by ping?

Matrix… ugh

It’s cool yes. But my wonder is if it will be on anyone’s mind when things go south.

In a lawless world, could you trust anyone that said hello back?

Every year I see more on the map. Have a solar node, good fun.

Ever useful? I doubt it, HAM would dominate in a collapse.

Nope, just the landscape, but who’s to say bored Lemmy users are going back to Reddit? They likely moved on, or settle for Mastodon, or like me, chats rather than forums.

Reddit hasn’t exactly improved, trading “meh” for “eh”.

Reddit circa 2013.

However, I’d like to take note that the world itself was far different in 2013. We’re asking for 2013 politic levels when the current world is obsessed with politics and some countries are within five years of a civil war, mine in particular.

I left, in a way. Lemmy was my main stomping ground. Now it’s XMPP.

how in the name of fuck is that even an acceptable transition?

I don’t need Reddit, I need engagement.

I don’t know if you’ve convinced me to stay or go, but you’ve certainly convinced me of either or.
