#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
When I saw this I was like ooh noes not myspace all over again. I feel this style may actually be a hinderance for adopting more users. People really want something more reactive like Discord. Discord is very much disliked, but the software is really good and that is why most people won't abandon it. It is like comparing Slack to Teams. It will be a long time before anything catches immediately up to Slack or Discord…
Discord always had a unique way of making me feel old I avoided it because when when a ding occurred there is no indication which channel had just donged, just left me confused as to what was happening

Likewise - a notification history feature would help, the confusion really cripples the real-time experience.

It might be that someone sent a message and then deleted it.

#36No MFA?
I get why they wouldn't offer it. Support nightmare and very few people would use it anyway.
Almost everything should have MFA, but it's not a solved problem. The overhead is to high and if you force it upon users you'll lose many of them.

> Discord is very much disliked, but the software is really good and that is why most people won't abandon it I dislike every single one of discord's design decisions, I think the software is garbage, and it is riddled with security problems. Their customer service is a nightmare, a hacker got one of my friends accounts and even though he'd paid up for some kind of Discord extra service for more than 2 years in advan…

What's the point of banning an IP address?

#39Please let this go viral, it's about time to make social media great again
Anyone here tired of social media? I’m almost 40. Just curious of my age group.
More angry than tired. To clarify: angry at Social Media rather than on it.
FB was great in about 2010, but is now ridiculous and basically unusable. My wife is addicted to IG, and spends multiple hours each day scrolling the feed. My social life revolves around WA groups. I tried moving people to Signal but got few takers.
I'm enjoying Mastodon at the moment.
I'm scared that if I install TikTok I'll get addicted. I've seen it happen to friends.
I would like to return to email, circa 2000, that was fun.

Valid point about support but if you enforce it everyone will have to use it unconditionally.
Not having MFA opens it up to potential data breaches causing havoc.
