This just sounds like FUD.
What should the Matrix developers have prioritized instead? Chat programs are complicated, especially when you’re making them distributed. You’re comparing an organization and a MSP with like $1M/yr revenue with a soon-to-IPO company with $600M/yr in revenue.
What feature is missing from Matrix that is preventing Discord users from joining?
The problem I see with peer tube is that the code isn’t very advanced, and I don’t think it would scale well enough to be a YouTube replacement at this moment.
Video federation requires allowing all CORS requests, Remote transcoding servers were only just added, and there’s no high-availability on a per-server basis.
eink can be pretty fast!
I dont have any interest in the curiousitystream content, but I enjoy supporting my favorite science and engineering youtubers on Nebula, which is owned by creators. There’s a few unique videos on Nebula that you can’t get on YouTube, but I mainly just subscribe as a more direct way of paying my favorite youtubers without any middlemen.
I think you have a different view on the project from reality. According to Wikipedia, the name “The Gimp” is a Pulp Fiction reference. The people who came up with the name “The Gimp” don’t even work on Gimp anymore. They’re CEO and CTO of the company developing CockroachDB. To imply that the volunteers running Gimp’s social media are some slur-crazy edgelords is counter productive.
I don’t think any people think of the slur when talking about the project, and I think this is a bunch of Twitter drama nonsense. If you want to change it, then join the project and change it, don’t harass volunteers.
The legacy jitsi-based rtc used turn, and so does matrixrtc I believe. I haven’t tried it myself, though.
