Depends on what improvement you expect to see. It’s been doing what it always was, just the amount of things supported has been steadily increasing

Wasn’t aware of that one. lemme crosspost quickly

I like to think of it more that the old Norse had a good sense of humor.

Vance is such a smoothbrain, he probably thought it’s called Greenland because of how lush it is.

Wages existed in feudalism, but we don’t call any system which has money and wages capitalism. For that we need that wage slavery is the primary mode of production.

The way they made people work for wages started at the barrel of a gun. “We take your (public) land, now you work in a factory or starve”. All the rest you think are due to Capitalism, is in fact the victories of the working class struggles, which they’ve been trying to dismantle for the past century. If anything the system resets itself to its original form.

The point of it being a core feature, is that people are not going to Discord for its DM capabilities.

That’s true about DM, however DMs are not a core use-case for discord-like services. It’s the group/voice chats etc. I could see a workaround like lemmy does, where if you want to DM a user in another server, you might be able to do it through your fediverse instance (i.e. a DM simply has your fediverse instance DM their fediverse instance), but I’m sure there can be more elegant things like. However DMs by themselves are a weird thing by themselves, so much so, that even bluesky had to bolt DMs on-top and outside of their protocol.

Sorry but what exactly do you communicate and access between discord servers? Are you talking about PMs which are by default independent of servers?

Unified search could easily be achieved through third party tools at the least, like for IRC. I don’t think even discord has unified search between servers.

I guess the easy solution here to to make it use oauth2 authentication. Then you can just authenticate using one account elsewhere. If fediverse services also at some point become oauth2 providers, then even better.
