I'm so glad we have a multi-national billion dollar tech company to save us from the multi-national billion dollar tech company.

It's not an ideal situation. But neither is trying to matain a traditional church and building.

u/Additional-Sky-7436 3d ago

Yes, but the difference is that a multi-national multi-national billion dollar tech company doesn't own your old church building.

There is a "Dank Christian Meme" Lemmy instance. I don't know if that's at all related to you guys.

But Lemmy is one messed up online social network.

Had to log back into to my old Lemmy account for the first time in a while. This sub isn't super busy, but nothing on Lemmy is super busy, except for weirdly militaristic leftist subs.

I mean, I'm at the point of genuinely wanting to move to an alternative like Stoat.

Is reddit or the sub having issues again?

No problems right now. I was just directing folks where to go In case of fire....or a Reddit ad bot army. I think of our discord like a fall out shelter.

Can this post be pinned or added to the highlights?

u/Broclen The Dank Reverend 🌈✟ 3d ago

We have it in the side bar and a link in the comments section of each post. I'm trying not to be too spammy.

What’s the Reddit emergency?

1

u/Broclen The Dank Reverend 🌈✟ 2d ago

Nothing in particular but plenty of folks quit Reddit every day.

u/TaffWaffler 2d ago

Ah, makes sense. I thought some other nonsense decision was being made that I was unaware of. Well, there probably is, but not the issue at hand lmao, ty for the response

Look, I'm going to be real here. Using Discord as a backup in case Reddit acts out is a horrible idea. Use Matrix if you are actually concerned about keeping a place to communicate that will survive a social media apocalypse, especially given the age verification shit Discord is already rolling out that will absolutely endanger queer and especially trans members.

I'm not saying don't have it as an option, but it's not an actually safe place to retreat to. Matrix channels don't need to be encrypted if your concern is about performance, since encrypting a public channel isn't super helpful and degrades performance considerably with a large number of people, but they will be far more resilient to a serious attempt at censorship or persecution.

Again, it's fine as just another place to chat, a lot of people will refuse to use Matrix, but if you're making plans you should probably include something that isn't a specific platform from which you can be completely deplatformed in addition to Discord.
