On the side bar it lists the following:

  • [Matrix/Element]Dead
  • Discord

"Discord" is an active link, but the Matrix link is completely inactive. Not only is it inactive (which could have be excused as a broken link), but it is also manually labeled as "Dead", as if there is no intention of making it work. How can a community that is focused on privacy willingly favor a service that is privacy non-respecting when a perfectly functional privacy-respecting alternative exists?

Wow this is great I am surprised to see people talking about this (let alone even being aware of it).

Really refreshing to not have it to be a contest to follow random dogmas.

Lemmy is refreshingly smarter than I was used to seeing on Reddit.

Just a slightly higher barrier to entry really filters out the low-quality ignorant/belligerent/unconstructive posters, don't you think? The relative absence of useless posts made either by bots or unhelpful users is refreshing too. It's not perfect but it's a huge step in the right direction.

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but either way this was hilarious!!
