Yeah but real time communication is not what this comment was about. The issues is that its being used as a social hub that replaces forums entirely. So when people ask questions about a topic they will do so in some shitty discord channel and the information (both question and answer) will be lost in the un-searchable, un-taggable, un-indexable discord black hole.

Discord should be used for shitposting and hanging out with your gamer buddies, because thats what its designed for. Not as a fucking database of valuable information that will be lost forever.

So sad to see things literally get worse for no good reason. Same with search engines.

Discord really is a plague for the open internet yep

Yeah the video rooms feature is most of that but not quite. The “call” always stays open so you can join and wait until others join without disrupting them. It has good screensharing but no option to share your output audio. You have to turn off the webcam before joining. The voice detection thing would be cool as an optional thing because it can also cause problems. I just use a filter plugin for that on my computer.

Thats weird? What version of element-desktop are you on? If its element-web it could be that your server is running a outdated version. Its only available in DMs not groupchats. It was added back in december https://github.com/element-hq/element-desktop/releases/tag/v1.12.5

No audio calls

They added that recently (element-call audio only i mean) its the phone icon at the top

I think the video call rooms (always open channels) remember your preference but im not sure rn

Mamdani proposed the city-owned stores not have to pay rent or overhead taxes, leading to lower consumer prices. They would buy and sell groceries at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution, and partner with local neighborhoods to source products.

Thats a great idea actually
