Our mission is to create the most authentic, player-centric advertising platform in the galaxy
Look, the quiet part, right in the open.
Oh. This is their vision quest optional ad thing. Not that its great but these exist on desktop already, and can be completely disabled in settings. This post just now reminded me that they made that, I turned it off and completely forgot.
They also say that the option to disable it will exist on mobile too. Its shitty that there are ads at all but this is about the least offensive option I’ve ever seen. Can’t promise it won’t creep out and get worse later but yeah.
Its shitty that there are ads
i mean there has to be a way to fund the business. ads are fine as long as there is a way to remove them through options or paying a reasonable fee.
The setting says “If you opt out you might still see Quest promotions, but they won’t be personalized to your activity”. I’m on Nitro Basic (The 3 dollar a month plan.) and I don’t see any method for disabling them completely.
They already offer a subscription service. And on top of that they have not-so-microtransactions in their shop.
wat no
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.
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.

I like Revolt better because it’s actually designed to replace Discord. Matrix isn’t designed to be Discord, and that’s a problem, because what I want is FOSS Discord. Matrix doesn’t bring any novel features that make me want it more than FOSS Discord.
That’s why I am moving out of discord, making it worse and have less features and now adding ads to communicator. Who had this genius idea?
This is to test the waters for desktop add 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
Enshittification ahoy !
Welp, good thing I don’t use discord on mobile. We’ll see how it goes when they come to desktop.
Read the article. Its the quest thingy that’s been on desktop for like a year.
You should also just use the webapp in browser instead of the desktop application, imo.
What about nitro users?
Fewer ads. Not zero, though
This is a good excuse for us to cancel.
Welp it was a nice run. What’s up element?
Oh no…… anyway Here something discord alike that you can selfhost or join the existing instance.
Shame its not federated. Makes the self hosting aspect kinda unappealing if I’d need to access a different instance for different servers.
Does anyone know of an lgbt+ safe pokemon server for gaming and discussion on Matrix
