@ben@a11y.infoModerators of tech(-adjacent) Discord servers: are y’all getting hit with spam of people advertising their services for AI or blockchain projects?
I ask because a few servers I mod have had a very noticeable uptick of such drive-by self-promo. It’s specifically webdev servers, and none of those servers have advertised themselves as spaces for AI or blockchain interests…
@chrislowles@mastodon.socialSpring cleaning my joined Discord servers and I'm just now realizing how little I actually use this app for anything other than keeping up with like 10 people.
@luana@wetdry.worldSo, with the Discord thing rn I guess teh closest we have to an alternative is like Zulip? Except it's more self-hosted focused.
So, is anyone around here hosting a Zulip (or other real, feature-complete, discord alternative that I don't know yet) instance open to (or even better, focused on) small-ish kink communities?
I have some friends on discord that I really wanted to migrate somewhere else.
I thought about hosting one in my NAS, but even if cgnat wasn't a thing actively moderating porn-focused places seems like a nightmare so I'd want something hosted by someone with a bit more experience on that such as moderating fedi servers or something. I guess some people who host fedi instances probably also host chat rooms right?
@luana@wetdry.worldHow does XMPP work? I'm looking at Jabber's website and apparently some clients are both clients and servers at the same time or something? It's quite confusing...
Are spaces or multi-channel groups (like discord) a thing in xmpp? Which clients support that on iOS and Linux and etc?
Is Movim a client or a server or what?
Are groups hosted in the server of the user who created it like on Matrix or what?
Any easy tutorials I could send to my discord friends?
