We now have a chat room for the smallest of talks! Just kidding. Infodumping is encouraged.

Rather than using Discord, we'll be using Matrix, which is a FOSS equivalent. It's pretty intuitive, so signing up shouldn't be much of a hassle, but let me know if you have any difficulties.

Here's a list of most Matrix clients: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/

I don't have an iPhone, so I don't know what the iPhone equivalent for this is. If you find out, let me know and I will adjust this post and the sidebar.

This post has been added the sidebar.

I got an iphone and I use element client which generally works well but I somehow can’t open your link and I cant find the room on matrix.org. No idea how to proceed. Got any hints? :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hmm, I wonder if that's happening to others. Either way, DM me on Matrix, and I can send you an invite 👍

~~@backonmytbs:matrix.org~~

Edit: never mind! I did make a typo. There was an extra t added in there. 🤦‍♂️

This is the correct username: @backonmybs:matrix.org

I‘m not sure if you made a typo in your username but I sent someone a message with your exact username (instead of the one you wrote). That correct? :)

~~I don't think I made a typo. I just had someone in the Matrix chat try to DM me using the link in my profile, and it worked. If you want, you can try the same and see if there's a problem or not.~~

Edit: I definitely made a typo 🤦

Old thread, the new one is here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! As I'm learning more about my own autism, I'm quite willing to share experiences.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Come on in and say hi!

Edit: you're welcome!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I joined the room but I don’t have permission to post

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Contact me directly on Matrix so that we could troubleshoot it: @backonmybs:matrix.org

Nvm I’m an idiot

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I doubt it, but I'm happy you figured it out. I hope you feel welcomed! 😀

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

So far, yes!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what's that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

its a chat room like Discord, but the service is free and open-source software

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

federated discord?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really federated, but more so that the software isn't owned by a company.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You can chat on different servers, so I'd say it's federated.
