I've heard Matrix is closer to Discord, but not quite as feature-rich - with the tradeoff being open source. I joined the Matrix room for Jerboa development just to follow along, and then my home Matrix instance has a chat it threw me in when first logging into Element that I let roll but mostly ignore. I have no idea what I'm doing or even why I really joined, other than to check it out for myself to see what it's all about.

I don't think I've been on IRC since 2006ish. It was the gathering ground for my favorite private torrent tracker at the time. We had internet radio and all kinds of fun stuff.

Before that, like back in the AOL days, there were chat-based filesharing server rooms, where you would get a list of files, then request whatever illicit goods you wanted via chat commands.

I'm not really sure what people use IRC for now, but it's still active.

I've made edits and deletes, and as far as I can tell, once the instances sync up, those edits/deletes are synced as well - I have noticed a delay, but it usually kicks in like overnight (for example) when I make a change using my account on lemm.ee for my account on lemmy.world to see it, etc.

Some instances have a 100kb limit, which is understandable, but very inconvenient if you don't have a way to shrink the filesize down. This is my best estimation as to why you get errors when trying to upload directly to posts, as it's happened to me bouncing between various instances. There's usually a statement in the "About this site"/sidebar area on your instance's main page.

Image uploads are limited to 100kb

So you'll have to use some alternatives; I've seen catbox.moe used a lot on Lemmy.

It's not just ad-based revenue they're losing. It's a monthly subscription people are cancelling.

I guess I'm struggling to fully understand the logic of "playing pretend" making you the thing you're pretending to be. You would need to already be a psychopath, lack empathy, etc, etc. That's not something you learn.

I would say no. The point of acting is to slip into a role and sell a part - ideally, believably. That's what makes a great actor.

Nothing broken or nonfunctional or anything. I've just been more of a fan of Cinnamon (and Xfce before that). I hadn't tried Plasma in any real capacity in years, so figured I'd see where it's at now; it's fine. So they're more complaints than issues - "old man yells at cloud"-type stuff because I have to figure out everything again, which is frustrating when you have a workflow.

Fair enough. May your future internet interactions trend more positive. Have a good rest of your night, day, or whatever time it is where you're at.

You came out aggressively swinging from comment one, pal. Not sure what's got you at an 11, but I guess I could have been nicer. That's my bad.
