    Our mission is to create the most authentic, player-centric advertising platform in the galaxy

    Look, the quiet part, right in the open.

    What an excellent place to remind people of the Free and Open Source Element project built upon the Matrix platform.

    They, in my opinion, desperately need contributors to provide the same level of features as Discord, particularly with community and moderation features such as a landing page where users can agree with rules and terms before using the server.

      Unfortunately, while Element is great, it does not support push to talk or a minimum dB to transmit sound. Which makes it a dealbreaker for gaming with friends, unfortunately.

      Element is run by a for-profit company.

        And Lemmy is run by Tankies, we kind of have to have faith in the ability to self-host with these platforms and make minimal compromises between them and the competitors.

    This is to test the waters for desktop ads I’m sure of it.

      These are the desktop ads that are already there, they’re bringing the quests (that, for now, have an off switch) to mobile

    Welp, good thing I don’t use discord on mobile. We’ll see how it goes when they come to desktop.

        I’ve literally never noticed an ad on desktop since I joined discord in like 2010.

      You should also just use the webapp in browser instead of the desktop application, imo.

        Yeah I was thinking about that if desktop gets ads, cause at least ublock origin can block most things.
