I think that was the goal.

I would buy (and play) the heck out of Stray.

Have you ever needed to troubleshoot a software bug that only had discord as a place to look for help? It’s a complete disaster, and switching to Matrix, while better than discord in many ways, wouldn’t change the fact that it’s not good for software troubleshooting.

Chat programs are not ideal for software communities since so much of software discussion is built around troubleshooting. We should stop using discord and instead use forums with IRC channels built in. That way wikis can be built into the site, discussion about important topics is slower and well indexed, and the endless ranting/chatting can still be done but doesn’t take away from the topics that matter. What would be even better is if there were a fediverse style page that handled all of that, so you wouldn’t need multiple accounts fire various software packages.

Why collaborate with humans when you can collaborate with AI?

I think the difficulty is having people leave.

It’s an academic article database with a notorious paywall.

Can I explain GUN/Linux to you?

I tried so hard to get into Bookwyrm and joined several instances but it really holds no candle to Goodreads in terms of number of users. A single book that is not even that popular will often have hundreds or thousands of reviews on Goodreads. Like this book:

vs

I think that a lot of book nerds have been using Goodreads for years and are unaware and not looking for of fedi alternatives.

Anyone who wants to. I think a lot of LLM trainers access them.

There are plenty of small torrents. Use the torrent generator and tell the script how much space you have and it will give you the “best” (least seeded) torrents whose sum is the size you give it. It doesn’t have to be big, even a few GB is suitable for some smaller torrents.
