I love that they “fixed” it by misgendering drag again, then “fixed” it again, by just using drag’s username (i.e. capitalized), which just goes to show how confusing drag is.

For example, there’s a user in the fediverse known as Drag, and people were blowing up because of his pronouns.

“I’m so against transphobia, I’m going to misgender the very person I bring as example”.

Eh, new digg is just more novel, and doesn’t actually exist yet, so redditors who want to use it are still there. People who want to use lemmy, are already here

“Most users” ? There’s like 2 mentions of digg and 3 of lemmy.

Oh I know, I’ll add it to my to-do bookmarks!

I get where you’re coming from, but this sort of qa should be done in coordination with the service provider to work well.

Unfortunately the lemmy default interface is shit at telling if your account application has been rejected. That UI is thankfully being replaced. You can try using a different UI like tesseract which should provide more accurate information on why you cannot login.

But if your application has been denied, and you didn’t receive a manual confirmation from the l.w. admins that it’s been now approved, it’s still denied. I don’t know why people suggested to try again.

The point of it being a core feature, is that people are not going to Discord for its DM capabilities.

That is excellent! I had suggested something similar for lemmy frontend devs to implement, but I love to see it natively on piefed.

bruh I hate to break it to you…

That’s true about DM, however DMs are not a core use-case for discord-like services. It’s the group/voice chats etc. I could see a workaround like lemmy does, where if you want to DM a user in another server, you might be able to do it through your fediverse instance (i.e. a DM simply has your fediverse instance DM their fediverse instance), but I’m sure there can be more elegant things like. However DMs by themselves are a weird thing by themselves, so much so, that even bluesky had to bolt DMs on-top and outside of their protocol.

Sorry but what exactly do you communicate and access between discord servers? Are you talking about PMs which are by default independent of servers?

Unified search could easily be achieved through third party tools at the least, like for IRC. I don’t think even discord has unified search between servers.

The bloat that it had tacked onto it since then is egregious.

VCs gotta make back that ROI…

Sounds like this is part of their business plan. Make hosting it so onerous, you’re better-off using their servers, or paying them to do it for you.

Just use croc to share files. Then size doesn’t matter.

I guess the easy solution here to to make it use oauth2 authentication. Then you can just authenticate using one account elsewhere. If fediverse services also at some point become oauth2 providers, then even better.
