Peer to peer could solve the hosting/bandwidth issue. Just federate the network/index/front end for torrent-based streaming. Impose some ratio requirements for access and it’s infinitely scalable

You must be having a wildly different experience than me then, because I don’t even understand how you can make that claim

That’s the opposite of my experience. Jellyfin just works and immediately exposes the content we’re looking for, plex tries overloading you with bullshit and burying your actual content

Their what now

I actually like this, guess I’m a psychopath

Can’t imagine it’s a rate limit in my case, it happens the very first time I try to load a video with the in-app browser

I’m getting it constantly in my old reddit app with vpn off. Seems if it doesn’t recognize your browser fingerprint it will call you a bot.

That’s literally what tabs are on mobile browsers

No tilt?

Yes, you’re a pedant intentionally missing the point to argue a different definition than the one I’m using

It really looks like you’re being intentionally obtuse here.

I’m in hundreds of discord servers, most of which have 10,000 to 300,000 thousand users each.

I do still use IRC, and I rarely find a server with more than 1000 users, most of which are bots, or users who only send bot commands. A typical ‘active’ channel has less than 10 active chatters over a week. IRC is dead.

I’m happy you are able to find niche use cases for it, but that’s obviously not what I’m talking about.

The fact of the matter is this: if I want to engage with any of the hundreds of broad communities I frequent, I am not able to do that on IRC anymore. They are just not there.

The early days with roku channels like rev3 were great. They took a while to go down hill

You’re still doing it

Man you are autistic as fuck

I shouldn’t have to explain the network effect to you on Lemmy of all places. You go make all the specific communities that I need switch over, and I’ll be right there with them.

That’s the point, discord isn’t just a VoIP app. It has all that other stuff too. 90% of my discord usage is text based. But IRC is dead now, so it is what it is. I was just as pissed about it when discord initially came around as I am now, but this is what we’re stuck with until something new takes over

Swiftkey was the first to steal it from Swype I’m pretty sure

Missed the joke, did not include a pun.

Nah that trash isn’t touching my phone unless I’m homeless and starving
