Shame I'm leaving the Love2D Reddit

Post by togFox »

The Reddit head of Privacy has announced Reddit will be selling my online behaviour patterns for their profit and there is nothing I can do about that except to leave the platform. That's a shame because there are ppl there that are not here and vis versa.

Are there other social media platforms supporting a friendly Love2D community (besides this one)?

I can google search that but what is the best way (client) to access?

The IRC channel is no longer maintained.

The discord server is quite active though. There's a link on the love home page.

I was gonna shove you a kiwi link but apparently kiwi is banned on oftc.
In that sense: IRC clients traditionally all suck.
On the bright site its about 50 lines of code to write another shitty one.

A person having concerns with redid likely has the same concerns with discord.
Also people like me cant even use it, they kinda banned my whole area there.

Discord privacy controls are quite good imo (for now).

Thanks.

Reddit is cancer. Try twitter I guess. These forums are good.

They used to be. Nowadays there are a few unfriendly, unhelpful people that lower the quality of the community support in these forums quite a bit. Thankfully, most issues are already posted in previous threads, so just searching a little may be more helpful than communicating with the community here these days.
