Why we're staying on Discord

Discord Shortly after I started working on Firefly Zero, I registered a bunch of social accounts: Mastodon, Bsky, and Xitter. While I personally only use Mastodon, I want to provide everyone a convenient way to get project updates in their own favorite place. You can contribute to our projects from any OS and IDE, so why should I limit where you get you updates? Discord followed shortly after, with the same motivation and purpose. I created two channels: #general where Discord would post a message for every new person joining (and others would send a “waving hand emoji” to acknowledge the fact) and #releases where I would post the same updates as on all other media.

FriendFeed

FriendFeed was a real-time feed aggregator that consolidated updates from social media and social networking websites, social bookmarking websites, blogs and microblogging updates, as well as any type of RSS/Atom feed. It was created in 2007 by Bret Taylor, Jim Norris, Paul Buchheit and Sanjeev Singh.[1] It was possible to use this stream of information to create customized feeds to share, as well as originate new posts-discussions, (and comment) with friends.[2] Friendfeed was built on top of Tornado. The service was shut down at about 21:00 GMT on April 10, 2015, though the service blog announced it a month before.[3]
