Due to losing control of our Matrix channel, we are officially moving over to Discord for now.

It's a shame, but we can't properly moderate our Matrix, so we can no longer recommend it.

@pixelfed Is there a blog post or something describing what happened?

@pixelfed What happened? You can’t dump this on us without the story! Cmon!

@Mrfunkedude The channel was originally created by someone else and I was added as admin through Freenode and over time for whatever reason I was stripped of my admin powers.

It's not really a dramatic story, I don't have time to wait for it to be fixed, as someone reached out months ago from Matrix side, nothing was ever done.

@pixelfed I'm glad it was nothing overly dramatic, but why jump to Discord? Why not just create your own channel on Matrix?

@pixelfed @Mrfunkedude we can do better than that. Let's make a deal: communick.com can host a Matrix server for you, pro-bono.

@pixelfed I don't think a closed platform is the ideal solution. It's like using Twitter as support system.

@pixelfed hey, sorry about this :( Your mail on Mar 18th looks like it was sent to abuse@matrix.org, but didn't get a response because your mail address was bouncing (SMTP 550 5.1.1 Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table from mx01.mta.zknt.org). We can (could have?) pointed the room alias to a new room if you created one with the right permissions. support@matrix.org is the right place for this sort of support request (although we are very overstretched atm).

@pixelfed@mastodon.social you should know better than to rely on a channel created by someone else on a platform controlled by someone else.

@matrix@mastodon.matrix.org at least give a very reasonable and generous response here, but really you should be using your own platform.
Either self host matrix, or because it's a project; you should be using a forum (Discourse or whatever) so conversations are searchable and archivable.

Discord is a cop out, it is lazy and shows you don't care about your community; just what is easier for you and the members that happen to already use Discord. And no, that is not everyone.

@pixelfed Thanks, but no thanks. Discord is a piece of unfriendly, privacy invasive, full of idiots, shit.

@pixelfed Matrix is federated. Something happened with one room, you are free to create another.

Your reaction is akin to saying "I had trouble getting my favorite handle on pixelfed.social, so I am going to go back to Instagram".

@pixelfed I am not going to use Discord. Please just make a new channel on Matrix

@pixelfed I'd be happy to host and help moderate on my matrix server discuss.online. We host and moderate the Lemmy official channels there. Please stay on Matrix, I'm not going to be joining discord.
