What does that face mean?

I mostly use Discord for a few group chats, unixporn (please post more of it to Lemmy :3 [email protected]) and some BG3 stuff. If the group chats moved to Matrix+Jitsi or even some form of Signal (that is still foss and does not require a phone number, self-hosted if possible) I would barely use Discord.

Edit because somehow I missed the most relevant part: I already barely get memes or trolls so not too many changes there.

I pretty much only use Lemmy but also contact friends and share photos on a Nextcloud instance one of them kindly provided (I assume it isn’t federated though?).

I would really like to start using matrix but unless I host my own instance and get everything ready I’ll never be able to convince my friends to switch, though some of them are slowly getting fed up with discord too.

I get them on desktop before my phone gives me a notification lol.

For that kind of thing I use jitsi, works great and I have access to a sort of private instance that I use occasionally. Works for just voice too but it can be a little unreliable (the last two times I had a weird issue where the others suddenly couldn’t hear me and vice versa but reloading fixed it) so something else might be better for that…

I’ve used Sycthing but it was somewhat finicky.

Yes it is an invasion of privacy if it recognizes which student it is (not entirely clear based off of the post). The sprinkler idea is fabulous though.

And girls and non binary folk.

Makes it funnier though, doesn’t it?

Then how is the social pressure thing meant to work?

Any good school should have a fog machine of its own IMO.

That just sounds like a seperate problem to me.
