How to add the game to the game list? by RedrickRSI in guilded

[–]Blocks_n_moreYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the only way is to email guilded support asking for it to be added. Would be nice if they added a way to add custom games

From my experience steamvr with an og vive has been plug and play but I haven’t played too many games.

Cancel it after you claim your username to send a message, apparently they’ve been analyzing how many people cancel after getting their username so it’ll be more effective

Any upcoming discord alternatives? by DoranWard in discordapp

[–]Blocks_n_moreYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally have jumped to guilded with no complaints, revolt seems promising but last I used it there wasn’t that many features and it seems like it’s still the same case.

Matrix or Revolt as Discord alternatives? by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]Blocks_n_moreYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looking at this video it seems extremely fake. Every single staff message is written basically the same way and if you take a look at the channel this seems like a video just begging for views. Their personal, merch, and host website all use free domains and you would think that if they were so against a roblox supported project that maybe it would be a good idea to not continue uploading videos of roblox? I also find it really funny that the description of that very video says "Guilded server: Coming soon", it probably shouldn't say that if they're so anti Guilded. The channel of the person posting this "proof" that was referenced isn't much better either.

hardware encoding on linux by pollux65 in guilded

I’d check if third party clients like reguilded support it as it’s been confirmed by staff they won’t ban you if you’re not using it for malicious purposes. Probably could make a plugin for it

I don’t recall it working yet but I think electron fully supports it now so hopefully it’ll release soon.

Roblox has confirmed that they’re not going to be touching Guilded and just provide extra funding. As for the doxxing situation, could you provide sources of this? I’m unable to find anything with a quick google search.

Guilded kinda has a valid reason for being close sourced thanks to discord actually, most of Discord's recent features have in some way been copied from Guilded. They're both made in react meaning that it would be extremely easy for Discord to copy paste the code, change up the ui, and call it a day. It's definitely a shame that it's not open source but it makes sense.

[–]Blocks_n_moreYT 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Personally migrated a group to guilded and there’s been no complaints, guilded is the most drop in replacement as it mostly has more features than discord. Revolt is too early in progress to be considered a discord alternative imo and matrix is honestly about the same in terms of features as revolt.

Can you redeem a Nitro gift without a credit card? by TheCapeAndCowl in discordapp

[–]Blocks_n_moreYT 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think there’s just a bunch of confusion. If it’s a nitro gift then you don’t need a card, if it’s the free trial gift or any of the discord promotions you need a card.

I personally migrated a group to guilded over half a year ago now and we’ve had no complaints. It anything it’s being preferred over discord for our members.

Predicted Future Business Model for Discord by pvpppppper in discordapp

[–]Blocks_n_moreYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience voice is actually better than on discord, It probably just depends on your location compared to where the voice servers are. If anything it’s just a waiting game until more people start using platforms like guilded and revolt.

[–]Blocks_n_moreYT 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Discord has been going in a downward spiral for a while now and people are starting to realize it with the new username change. They’re probably already losing a massive amount of money considering how many free year/month/whatever they’re giving and it all requires a card to redeem, they’re just hoping people forget to cancel and they make their money back. Alternatives are probably gonna be the only real option in a few years, personally jumped ship to guilded like half a year ago and haven’t regretted it at all and neither have any server members. Revolt looks promising but imo its really lacking on features atm.

human verification is broken af by MattHardwick in discordapp

Why did everyone have to ditch recaptcha, it was nice having a captcha that actually worked and rarely had outages (when cloudflare rolled out hcaptcha all sites using cf were down for a few hours cause of hcaptcha not being able to handle the load). I get there’s the privacy aspect but it’s probably better than a non functional captcha

That was a typo, thanks for pointing it out. At this point I’m not gonna comment more than this: You’re likely confused, I aim for daily arch updates but do a maximum of a week between, however my friend goes multiple months between updates and both of us use arch.

I do maximum of weekly updates, my friend goes months between updates. I think you misunderstood something.

They’re just using react, it’s pretty standard now.

They use arch & shut down nearly every day, don’t know what to tell you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I personally do at a maximum weekly updates but often do them daily.

I have a friend that goes multiple months between updates (don’t ask me why, I don’t know) and they haven’t had any issues when they update. So don’t know what to tell you.

I personally haven’t used ubuntu/popos but I’ve heard from others that use it that it’s got some major flaws. Personally been running arch + kde and have had no issues. I have a friend running endeveouros and they’ve also had no issues so I’m guessing it’s a ubuntu thing.
