nothing is happening yet im not saying anything is happening, its just very demotivating when the amount of work to maintain a matrix server is already non trival | 18:35:59 |

im not saying anything is happening, its just very demotivating when the amount of work to maintain a matrix server is already non trival so im not saying "run, the world is gonna implode" im saying "my motivation to engage with this platform once again took a hit" | 18:36:47 |
| Gnuxie 💜🐝 | it's true | 18:37:04 |
 [0x4A6F] | Please don't update rooms in the nixos.org spaces. These are update by the moderation/infrastructure team only. NixOS Moderation Bot needs to run with at least draupnir v2.5.1 | 22:12:18 |
 uep | The common thread / element (indecisive pun selection failure) with moving platforms, whether irc or matrix or zulip, and possibly even between rooms as v12 causes fallout, is that there are two forces and a lot of inertia in between:
- some kind of pull, reasons to set up a new platform, change required
- some kind of push, forcing users to make some kind of change
The former is rarely strong enough to draw in enough of the userbase, enough will stay behind that it just amounts to a community split and something about the new platform needs to be really compelling. The latter is always disruptive and damaging and will just push some users away.
