Would anyone be interested in participating in a sort of retro gaming "book club" style group?

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@raptor85 I'm definitely aligned with this. Matrix tended to be unreliable during my time at Mozilla, but I think it IS the best option, and I'm sure things have been improved.

I am on everything except Signal.

@jsstaedtler @raptor85 As if to validate your concern, here's the only thing that happens when I load up that hashtag...

@TeamLinux01 @killyourfm @Jojonintendo @thanius @nausahaver @lyonsinbeta @baltmatrix @chris @Btph @gsquirrel @CleanDesign @jsstaedtler

Also, as a member of the Ubuntu Matrix Council,
It would be kinda funny for me to vote against Matrix

[raptor85@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@killyourfm Not sure how long ago that was but I've used it for a while, all my friends have moved over to it as well. (with a bit of prodding tbf), we even have the full voice calls/etc set up on our home server for gaming. It's basically just better discord without all the crap now.

I would never use it to replace a forum or something like masto of course but for chat imho it's the best there is at the moment.

@killyourfm @jsstaedtler funnily i can see someone else replied to this message but my server isn't receiving it so I can't see the reply.

Mastodon is great at a lot of things, making a coherant thread of replies everyone in a group can see is not one of them.

@tylnesh @TeamLinux01 @Jojonintendo @thanius @nausahaver @lyonsinbeta @baltmatrix @chris @Btph @gsquirrel @CleanDesign @jsstaedtler HA! Kudos for that!
Admittedly, I also prefer to avoid Discord, but it felt fair to include it. I suspected pretty strongly though that this group would vote open source.

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@raptor85 @jsstaedtler HEARD. And it's looking like Matrix is definitely in the lead anyway.

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@raptor85 Yeaaaaa... every time I log into Discord for something, it just feels so loud and chaotic and distracting.

[wiredfire@mstdn.social]

@killyourfm love it! Not in a position to participate right now so I won’t muddy the vote but I hope this takes off and I get join in when life affords the opportunity

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@wiredfire Awesome! I'd love to structure this in a way people can easily pop in and out when it's convenient for them. Or even follow the discussions from the sidelines.

[wiredfire@mstdn.social]

@killyourfm definitely the sort of thing I’d love to read-along to ^_^

[thibaultamartin@mamot.fr]

Happy to help promote this community with Matrix’ official channels

@killyourfm @raptor85

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@thibaultamartin @raptor85 Awww, thank you so much! It's definitely looking like Matrix will be our destination.

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@wiredfire NOTED! (Now to just figure out how to do that...)

[dannycolin@floss.social]

@killyourfm @raptor85 It has improved. I haven't had stuck notifications for a while now. *knocks on wood*.

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@dannycolin @raptor85 HAHA that is exactly the type of behavior I was referring to. Fantastic!

[hertz@oldbytes.space]

@killyourfm I'd love to be a part of this, it sounds very cool

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@hertz Awesome! Keep an eye on this thread, but I'll ping everyone directly just to make sure.

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@raptor85 ... I just re-read this and I sound so old
