The method of communication is not the deciding factor. You will always be dissatisfied with it regardless of which mode you use because people themselves are disappointing.

I get weirdos adding me on XMPP from time to time. often it's Russian spammers. else I use it to talk to other nerds who care about XMPP and other open protocols like Matrix and ActivityPub

t. used

>>33381
hmm that seems a bit better than the usual fare that seem to congregate on discord

my problem is i don't know anyone who doesn't use discord for their main mode of communication- i am not sure how to meet people who use the alternatives

>>33383
Fediverse users (Mastodon, Pleroma, GNU Social etc) are likely to be on IRC, XMPP and/or Matrix

>>33383
>>33384
Fuck troonverse

>>33380
The medium is the message

>>33379
Maybe pick who you want to communicate with and then pick a mode of communication?

I still use irc to this day. I setup XMPP for vanity purposes, but it's dead unless you're in an in-group.

umm i like snapchat!

Matrix/Element is basically a better non-retarded version of Discord. The biggest problem is getting your friends to hop over, but honestly I think if they don't care enough about you to make an account on a objectively better chatting program they aren't a real friend.

>tech toy
unfortunately matrix is full of trannies

>>33379
Used XMPP for years, it's great. Normal in Europe, almost everyone uses it.

>>33387
This is it.

I like jitsi for voice chat & screen streaming. not as "convenient" as discord but way more customization, choice, and transparency. dont have to fumble with "tags" and "rooms", if you don't want

>>33379
I use it /)

>>33385
Its literally full of cis lesbians and has nice instances like spinster.

>>33395
no way lmao

>>33379
I use it. I also use Matrix

>>33391
well if people don't join it'll stay that way…

Mumble is the best one out of all of these. I'm in a mumble server that is open to the public full of real old school internet types that are really good with tech. Years ago these guys somehow managed to get root permission for some software that was managing a grain silo. They figured out where it was and was just messing around with some settings. Two days later they checked on it again and the server was offline. We looked up news and apparently the grain silo fucking blew up. Mumble is really good for running OPs.

>>33395
There used to be a lesbian one too. I don't get the resistance to use stuff like this, imageboards are also usually full of troons and yet…

>>33385
>>33391
this is a very silly mindset to have that just cements male domination in these spaces

>>33395
who is spinster?

>>33402
spinster.xyz

>>33391
yeah literally anything decentralized and high-security like fediverse and element is for pedophiles

>>33400
>imageboards are also usually full of troons
thats why i only use crystal cafe kek

>>33405
cc is full of troons and moids too, like over half of the userbase is one or both

>>33406
this is why i use fc even though i’m not very interested in yaoi. it hasn’t been invaded by males so much yet. shame they killed the yume and s stuff though. those were the best boards.

Op here

Okay lol i finally made a few friends on xmpp and it has been amazing wtf
