    I was a bit bummed to see that Mike didn’t mention any of the Fediverse options but honestly Lemmy and kbin are still cooking as technologies so I don’t exactly fault him. I was surprised to hear him skeptical of Patreon—the same incentives are there, surely, but I wasn’t aware of any recent actions they had taken.

    Replacing Discord will definitely be painful if/when it comes.

        Senpai noticed us!

        Thanks for checking our small community out. For what its worth, this is set up by a number of the mods from several different large subreddits dedicated to ttrpgs, trying to gain traction for something away from reddit.

        Ah that’s fair. I mean, at the time you recorded the video I couldn’t have named any kbin or Lemmy groups that were even rpg focused (I didn’t know any either) so it would have been by far the most embryonic of the options you listed. We’re watching the plane get built mid-flight! Credit to the other shout outs you gave, though; I did notice them at the time and they do all present legit alternatives for controlling your life on the internet.
