Hrmmm…a discussion of decentralization that ends with a “we’re leaving the newly unpopular walled garden for a fresh and trendy garden (please ignore those walls around you as you enter)”
Adam and I were early adopters of Twitter Spaces, turning it into our Oxide and Friends podcast. We, like Tim, are leaving, and will be moving to Discord.
Which open source platform rivals Discord (or even Twitter Spaces) at the talkback radio format? Mastodon is at least a plausible replacement for Twitter in many respects, even if it has a long way to go to be accessible outside of technologist circles, but I’m not yet aware of a replacement that does what we’re doing with Discord (and is easy enough to get people to use).
Not sure I have a good suggestion, just was kind of a weird segue/wrap-up given the content of the article.
I’m way behind on the podcast, so not even sure what the format is like right now, and I can’t say I’ve tried much in the space of possible replacements to comment on their relative merits… But I will point out that Discord seems particularly user-hostile even compared to the other centralized systems, and has gone on my “will not use” list.
