Am I the only one who doesn’t want any, “do everything,” apps? I’d rather have 10 apps that each do one thing really well than have one app that haphazardly attempts to do 10 things.

Just shut up and take my upvote

I took a quick look at this and it seems that the server portion of this product is open source but the apps such as extensions are not. I'm not saying it's bad or even that it's a red flag. I just felt like I should point it out.

Not entirely sure why all the downvotes were necessary but I guess this is just like Reddit. I was just commenting on what the issue seems like to me. I’m happy to hear differing opinions but “lol @ very left leaning” comments and downvotes are hardly constructive.

I never said nor do I fear either side of this coin. I was just pointing out what it seems like the problem is to me.

I would genuinely like to learn about how America compares to another western country. What policies make other countries much more left leaning?

I think it would be nice if more moderates from each party were more prominent. Right now we really have mostly very right leaning republicans and very left leaning democrats pushing legislature, making news headlines etc.

This is the reality. The best thing everyone including the doj could have done is stop even acknowledging his existence. Things like this are just fanning the MAGA flame.

I think there was a new version of lemmy released so the instance may be in the process of being updated.

I wish your original comment was the case but sadly I don’t think that’s the case.

I really am glad that people are still flaming Reddit but at the same time they are still using the platform which is disappointing. I was really hoping people would accept that Reddit has gone to shit, that there is no going back to the way it was, and to move onto another platform like Lemmy or whatever other alternative.

Matter is going to take a long time to take hold if it ever does at all. Say what you want about zigbee and z wave but they’ve been around a while and have good support so it’s probably better to get familiar with something like home assistant and just use those protocols instead.

The lack of voice channels is huge for something that looks like it is trying to be a discord alternative. I really can’t believe it still isn’t really implemented.

Honestly though even setting aside the lack of voice channels there is a bigger issue. Getting people to switch to something like matrix. I have so much trouble trying to get my group to switch to ANYTHING new. Tried to get them to switch from iMessage to telegram or signal. They tried it for a day and then went back. Getting them to switch from razer comms to discord was even a removed back in the day. People just don’t like trying new things.

Sorry for the rant I just find this endlessly frustrating. Lol.

The contact card customization is a good idea. As far as I understood it you make your own contact card for yourself and that is what shows when you call someone. I imagine it only works if you are calling an iPhone user but still cool.
