Is this working now? I logged on and can't do anything and nothing seems to be happening, i just get a snippet of text starting "38m earlier"

Same for me, I'm guessing it's hugged from all the YC traffic.

pretty much lol

I just get "Permission denied (publickey)". The README says to just run ssh-keygen, but I already have an RSA key. Does this server only support ed25519 or something?

This is your week to learn about .ssh/config files.

this is mostly a certain crypto lib's fault (maybe stdlib, let me check)

I like it. A few observations: * Hangman doesn't give you credit for all instances of a letter when you guess it * Starting a new game of hangman (maybe also TTT?) interrupts/erases the previous one, if there's one in progress * Images can be anything and aren't filtered - troll users could present some nasty stuff * User settings don't persist (e.g., nickname)

I'm not good at handling user data so I haven't added persistence, could in the future

IDK how to filter images oof

Wdym by that first point? (Hangman is case sensitive)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Discord is one of the most popular chat platforms. Imagine IRC, but more modern and the developers actually care about UX.

But unfortunately it is highly censored. And if you're part of any community that is banned, your account is banned as well. It happens often. Something I experienced, as a former member of a nootropics server. I don't find the service very trustworthy, but I think that if you're a gamer, it may work out just fine for you.

I agree that I wish their rules were more lax, but a trust and safety ban of a server doesn't necessarily ban everyone from the server. Just recently a server I was in got a trust and safety ban and no one got banned. The server just disappeared.

LOL @ the developers caring about UX. I can't count how many times I tried to find some functionality only to have to google how to do it.

The only time I've does this it turned out that a feature didn't exist to do what I wanted, but you must admit the UX of creating a new IRC server is a million times worse than creating a new discord server.
