This is the official Lemmy community for Retro Warriors podcast. We're a weekly retro gaming podcast. No corporate sponsors, just us talking about games we like!

While this will be a place for show-related discussion, it's also a place for celebrating, discussing, and sharing stuff about retro games.

I know that probably no one reads this lemmy community, but if anyone does: we're on Matrix now if you want to come chat!

Got sick of Discord with their latest move. Should've left a long time ago.

Out of curiosity: what was discords latest shenanigan?

On top of the mounting enshittification they've been undergoing in recent years: they opted in to perform age verification processes worldwide utilizing face scanning and/or ID submissions and/or data scanning to verify age.

They've now postponed it until later this year, but enough was enough for us.

I'm here from 'All' and I neither know nor care who you or your (checks sidebar) podcast? is, but congrats on ditching Discord.

Just heard you'd be moving on the podcast today but weren't sure where to yet. Glad to hear it. Thanks for sharing the link!

Wish I could take a peek before signing up.

I believe element will let you preview. But you do still have to be signed into element.

You can just sign up on any of the many free matrix servers. Usually just requires an email. But here is your preview of what it looks like in ElementX/SchildiChatNext

It's true matrix have many pedos?

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Thats like asking if signal or whatsapp or email has many pedos. The answer is "who fucking knows", because why would you go look for them to find out? I have never seen any except for bot spam attacks long ago in large public rooms, which was largely fixed with new auto moderation tools that have been developed over the last two or so years.

Uhhh....I haven't seen any. But I just run a space about video games.

Normally, I'd think this was a strange thing to say.

But then, whatever this reality is comes crashing down on me and I return to being sad
