“Trust me bro”

Privacy win? RCS itself does not support E2EE. Google developed a proprietary extension for RCS to include their “E2EE”.

They are new comments. If you see any comment which look “more” highlighted (e.g. yellow background) and is pinned to the top of the post, then it is a manually distinguished comment by a moderator.

yeah pretty much

I tend to think of Matrix more like WhatsApp instead of Discord. The features of Discord really just aren’t available in Matrix. Which is why I recommend Revolt (or something like it) instead of Matrix when people ask for alternatives to Discord. It does not look or function the same. Yeah, there are some stuff in common, but not enough to be called similar. It feels like comparing Mastodon with Lemmy.

Okay, yes, I agree. But it wouldn’t really hurt to do so, would it?

The idea of adding a matrix compatible messaging protocol to Lemmy seems too complex and unnecessary to me. Just use some matrix client at that point?

Well yeah. Revolt is not really E2EE (yet), so it doesn’t matter. And it is not impossible to build a private messaging app with ActivityPub, see sup from the dev of Pixelfed. It also seems like some people are trying to get E2EE encrypted DMs in Fediverse to be a thing: https://wedistribute.org/2024/05/encrypted-dms-activitypub/

Oh no like I meant using ActivityPub to federate between different Revolt instances or even other future software that might be an alternative to Discord and is federated using ActivityPub.

In the FAQ, they state that federation is not in their roadmap, but if someone can do it, then they are willing to merge it. Since Revolt is written in Rust, we can use Lemmy devs’ activitypub federation crate. I might take a look at it someday.

Matrix. But if you want something that looks and feels exactly like Discord, there is Revolt. It’s FOSS.

It’s mostly because people keep recommending LW instead of other instances.

It’s very exciting to see 48k MAU jump up to 55k in such a short time.

No but we did discuss a modmail feature in Lemmy, you might see it become a thing someday: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5110

For now either create a post in the community or just contact the moderators individually via Matrix or PMs.

Threads is trying to become that. We have a list of instances blocking Threads here: https://fedipact.veganism.social/

It is an alternative, an alternative without the bloat that is.

No? But it can be implemented. Though I don’t think anyone really cares about it, so most likely it won’t. Revolt does not even advertise itself as a gaming chat platform, but just a chat platform.
