@Fitzydog no, the problem is, with video/audio chat you need low latency but direct connection will reveal your IP. And bouncing it around a bunch to make it harder to track will result in shit latency. With the server model, this issue does not exist.

But moderation is a bigger issue anyway.

You HAVE to have some sort of authority for that, which is a big problem if this shit is decentralized

@leavethisbotnet This is not for video/audio, just text.

There's no chat protocols that organize things the way discord does with the "server/channel" model

What's IRC then?

IRC doesn't handle the "server/channel" model in the same way as discord @leavethisbotnet

IRC does it *better*

@turtwig Oof.

What about image and link embedding? Do modern clients handle that well?

yes

but those things are garbage anyway

<:thronk:441701565607444482>

Looks like they're getting DDOS'd

I'm surprised the left even have the technical ability to arrange a ddos

(inb4 there are thousands of them just hitting f5)

@turtwig it's not that difficult, pay some indian company

yeah true

my point isn't that it's hard

it's that they're too stupid

but then you'll have indian quality code

which to say is shit

indian ddos

it's just thousands of indians hitting f5

<:mad_lad:464461880786944000>

They think hitting f5 will abort their daughters

*[f5 hitting intensifies]*

So, unironically, I found a possible decentralized solution to what I'm looking for, but I am not going to use it because it's developed by a bunch of post-modernist fags.

🤦🏻

Is it proprietary, or can you snag a fork of it for yourself?

It's a protocol, so not really? idk, there's not even a license listed

they have the CoralineCovenant
