So now that discord has made a major oopsie, people are now talking about alternatives. However I do not see people mention XMPP a lot (Compared to Matrix, which gets mentioned a lot).

So I was wondering if we all could brainstorm & share:

• what features Discord has that XMPP currently does not
• & whether those "features" are being worked on
• & if so then; useful links can be provided.

Also let's keep this post as active as possible to track development, if you are interested.

I want to some guidance.

So let's say you created a PGP key & then proceeded to create 2 subkeys. Is it possible to just export the particular subkeys only. (let's say one for encryption & the other for signing) for OTHERS to import into their keyring for authentication & encryption ?

So basically I want to ask whether if anyone here used any Libre-Formats ??? Like OggVorbis, Opus, FLAC, Theora, Matroska/MKV etc.....

I want to know their benefits over the proprietary ones. It'll also be educational for anyone coming across here.

I particularly want to know about .MKV

I am quite nervous while asking this question, but let's say one wants to create a language.

What materials & tools one could use to get started on this path of madness ??

EDIT: I wanted to create an alternative to Javascript😂 with a syntax similar to Bash

We have this "meritocratic" right wing christian "centrist" relishing in the fact that Debian has gone political & is now struggling because the devs don't want to work for them.

I was wondering if some of nice people could share your opinions on it, especially on his solutions.

MY OPINION:

"Getting political" in these ways is both useful & a good idea. NO ONE & NO organizational body is neutral. Even just in internal day to day interactions, taking clear political policy like this is one step in preventing an environment from degenerating into one that is toxic & bigoted. This doesn't even have to be a right vs left issue. No one in their right minds should want to be racist or homophobic or allow an environment that promotes such a culture.

Also, being an open-source supporter & any level of rightwing is self-contradicting. Private property is the cornerstone of capitalist ideology & free software fundamentally twists information property against itself, turning the freed software into a commons. Left wing is far more meritocratic than right wing.

I'm just asking if there's a Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed community (or any federated community/forum) that's dedicated to MicroNations here ?

(The Youtube link is just for knowledge purposes I was also adviced that this was the appropriate community to post this)

Are there any proper FOSS/Libre City-builders on both Android & desktop ?

(Similar to Sim-City & City-Skylines)

I want your quick opinions on 2 Fundraising infrastructures that I found:

1. Project-Houdini
2. FOSSpay

& Do you guys know any more ??

So I don't know if this is the right place to say this but, How does one find smaller (& new) gaming channels, especially when those cool channels get algorithmically burried ??

Also please do list out your favorite small-medium gaming channel & why you like them

EDIT: Thank you for your reccomendations, please do keep this list active for others to see

Are there any serious attempts (Not talking about NewPipe) on creating a truly FOSS alternative/Clone of FUTO's GrayJay app ??

Ok so I don't know if this protocol has got anything to do with Federation, but it's an interesting protocol regardless

It's used mostly for logistics. I'm interested in your thoughts https://becknprotocol.io/
