 QuadRadical (Ping) | so yeah | 15:43:15 |
 Charles | ew | 15:43:20 |
 K900 | It is bad | 15:43:36 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | you think its a bad idea as well? | 15:43:36 |
| K900 | For one it doesn't have sync | 15:43:43 |
| K900 | Which is insane | 15:43:45 |
| K900 | Well it doesn't have an equivalent to what Matrix calls sync | 15:44:04 |
| K900 | i.e. "give me everything I've missed" | 15:44:10 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | hmm | 15:44:16 |
| K900 | You have to either listen on the websocket permanently | 15:44:18 |
| Charles | the main thing i know about discord's API is the sheer number of people it has burned out on working with discord | 15:44:18 |
| K900 | Or you have to poll every single room | 15:44:29 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | i see | 15:44:45 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | you can talk to the devs in their discord, or theres a bridged irc, if you have feedback https://discord.gg/rppR56dA | 15:44:46 |
| K900 | Honestly? I don't care enough to do that | 15:45:13 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | okay | 15:45:35 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | they say "it will be way easier than on matrix." | 15:45:42 |
| Charles | i don't believe that | 15:46:08 |
| K900 | There's people I trust a lot more to do protocol design for this | 15:46:15 |
| K900 | (and it's mostly people who got burned by Matrix and know the issues with that) | 15:46:24 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | well nobody is, afaik | 15:46:37 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | i asked if they are seperate identities, and they say "they are, but you can migrate to another username rather easily, and you get to keep all your stuff (messages, room memberships, etc.)" | 15:46:59 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | * well nobody else actually is making a new protocol | 15:47:17 |
| Charles | i think they have not thought about the problem very hard then | 15:47:20 |
| Charles | or they have actual magic | 15:47:35 |
| K900 | https://polyproto.org/docs/protocols/core#71-identity-migration | 15:47:44 |
| K900 | They're doing the bluesky thing | 15:47:48 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | i mean olivia is in the discord too so i would assume they would have also thought of these same problems that matrix had | 15:47:49 |
| K900 | Where you basically just tombstone your old account | 15:47:54 |
| K900 | And it exists forever | 15:48:45 |
