Haven't seen much of this around, but I've spun my own instance up and suffice to say it fits my needs.

Heh "Join the Tailchat Discord."

And with that they are out.

I really wanted to like Matrix, but the clients applications are trash. This looks like it has a nice client app at least.

This app looks nice, but Element has improved quite a bit recently, and the others clients have improved as well

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I use Element daily and I'm pretty happy with it. I have far more problems these days with Discord than with Element/Matrix.

Yeah, unintentional bugs are much easier to deal with than maliciousness, like replacing the "file upload" button with buy nitro, or discord in the browser's audio being finnicky (dark pattern you don't get this problem on element or the discord app.)

Of course, there are unintentional bugs as well, on top of maliciousness.

Lmao. I'm guessing this is because they've begun to use LLM's for moderation (maybe trying to replace real humans?), but LLM's can't really count.

Yes. I noticed my Discord problems uptick sharply when I uninstalled the creepy invasive desktop app and started only using it in the browser. Element just sometimes fails to upload a file or something, but it's pretty stable for me lately.

Swear. I still haven't found a decent client for matrix yet

I did like that one and I'll try it again but after a while it stopped launching

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

This looks straight up like Discord and i like it.

Not Only Instant Messenger.

Strange, I cant seem to find and meantion of that term by searching for it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I think it's something that app creator invented.

I've had a Rocket.Chat instance for the past few months, are there any major differences between RC & Tailchat?
