We’ve moved our internal communications from Discord to Zulip at Mastodon, and I think there are plans to do the same for our Patreon community Discord.

Sam, yeah but how could that be enforced against a foreign entity? (maybe it's a stupid question, idk)

[hlrx@techhub.social]

@Gargron Check out Teamspeak with their new version. Otherwise, stick with the old version with Mumble

[sam@break3.social]

@grishka@friends.grishka.me You can fine foreign entities if they operate in your country. If they don't obey they can get blocked from the whole UK internet, we currently don't have access to Rule34, PornHub (at least the NSFW area) along with a few other NSFW services at all, others are IDed and illegal content has been made easier for children to find as these safer sites are now wiped out. So the OSA has done a lot more damage than fix.

@Gargron thanks for the info, please share your feedback about the zulip. i'm starting a videogame studio, and if i can start clean it would be great!

[diffrentcolours@tech.lgbt]

@Gargron Our Fedi admin discussions moved from Discord to #Zulip a while ago. It's not only sufficient as a replacement, it's actually better.

[masek@infosec.exchange]

@Gargron Not happy about that Patreon statement though .

From my PoV I am paying Patreons share. I roughly know what is deducted and select my tier accordingly.

And for me it is worth the money.

I am backing 25+ projects with Mastodon receiving one of the larger backings (since April 2017, my 10-year-anniversary is around the corner).

I have no chance to track my patronages if those are distributed over dozens of services.

@Gargron
anonymity is part of privacy, and privacy is a human right.

[einalex@chaos.social]

@masek so you're actively arguing for a monopoly on donation processing? @Gargron

[draeath@infosec.exchange]

@Gargron @lefteristrip23 this may be relevant (not like using discord was better, heh)

@Gargron

Well, another thing I learned a little about today.

[baloouriza@social.tulsa.ok.us]

@Gargron And yet @xmpp is right there...

[nazani@universeodon.com]

@Gargron Scan away, I have nothing to hide.

[thatordinaryjoe@mastodon.social]

@grishka @Gargron @sam they cant, they tried to do it to 4chan and essentially got told to roll it up and stuff it up the rah

[thatordinaryjoe@mastodon.social]

@Gargron I didnt even know about this oh god, what do I even do?

[phildini@wandering.shop]

@Gargron @verge hey @proprietor

[siff@mstdn.social]

@Gargron @briankrebs Discord never “clicked” for me, not to mention their “security” and “verification” measures that required to provide a phone number to “verify” me. I had to use it in several cases and these experiences only reaffirmed my feelings about it.

[gilbus@metalhead.club]

@Gargron @zulip rocks! Great choice

[kdude@mastodon.social]

@Gargron finally... i never understood the choice for Discord in the first place.

Zulip seems US-based unfortunately, so not very trustworthy in the long run. Hopefully you will at least self host Zulip then, and not use the US cloud...
