While I hope in the long term Matrix ecosystem will suit all the use cases, even the social ones by replacing/complementing ActivityPub, at the moment even its flagship client that most people are mentioning (Element) can't replace Discord.

Instead I think the best alternative at the moment is Telegram because it has a large userbase, native clients for Linux, Android, Windows etc, voice chats that suit the Discord-like use case and it doesn't use/sell users' data.

I thought "Communities" were already used to group rooms?

Anyway I searched more for these "Spaces" and I found this:

Spaces are particularly interesting because they open up the possibility of Matrix being more than just a big flat namespace of conversations: instead they provide a global fully decentralised hierarchical filesystem, complete with decentralised ACLs, allowing users to publish and curate an arbitrary taxonomy of whatever data they choose (be it real-time conversations, history, data streams, files, objects, etc). This has potential to flip Matrix entirely on its head: Spaces could become the main backbone of the protocol, with chatrooms being mere leaf nodes in a giant tree of collaboration.

Isn't Wire a chat app? Does it have one-to-many/broadcast channels?

I'm asking because I replaced Instagram with another chat app, Telegram, because it has broadcast private/public channel so I can say to people to "follow" me there, on my personal private channel.

By the way, they now have a business model: since broadcast channels with hundreds of thousands of users use to display advertisements, Telegram decided to standardize this behavior, creating a circuit of ads visible in very popular channels relevant to the channel's topic and not to user data. A part of the proceeds goes to the channel manager and a part helps to finance Telegram.

but it is not currently structured as a non-profit organization.

It is an ambiguous sentence. Maybe it meant they don't accept donations, aren't transparent etc? I wanted to check the source but it's behind a paywall. Wikipedia shouldn't really allow articles behind paywalls to be used as a source. However Telegram wrote in its FAQ that it is non-profit, that's enough for me. How they bureaucratically pursue this goal is their business. If they violate their privacy policy they will be prosecuted. If they change it to exploit user data or to sell it, I will stop recommending Telegram.

And microplastics still pollute water and soil since they come from the deterioration of objects still in use

Telegram has voice chats now, it's a no-profit and doesn't use/sell users' data

You are repeating that referencing Didier Raoult is misinformation, you see? No better arguments.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 years ago (2 children)

Calm down, I have the right to report what Didier Raoult said and the studies he provided as source. You can debate on the matter but you can't decide that my comments have to be deleted just because you think Didier Raoult was wrong. Is it clear now?

Didier Raoult is one of the scientists with the higher H-index of the world. The problem is not him, he provided studies as source of his statements and I provided the link.

The problem is people still blindly believe to everything the media says.

We have hundreds of scientists and doctors like him that spoke publicly against some mainstream statements and thousands of doctors that are treating Sars-Cov2 infections more or less how he said.

And for quoting Didier Raoult, one of the scientists with the higher h-index in the world.
