Maybe use Matrix or XMPP for that? They're both much better than the dumpster fire discord is.

[–] tilefan@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

are there active communities on either of those?

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

no idea, but be the change you wish to see in the world. Send me a link to the room and I'll join (:

They specifically asked about active communities. What use is a recommendation to another platform with fewer active communities?

What client do you use for matrix? I'm still shopping around.

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 2 points 3 months ago

Element on desktop and Schildichat, a fork of Element, on mobile. I used to use element on mobile too but it was soooooo slow. Also, which homeserver are you going to use? Don't use matrix.org, it's too full and slow. envs.net or tchncs.de are cool. If you want, I can register you an account on my own server, gregtech.eu.

Why would you want to do this

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Comrade, Hexbear does this on Cy.tube.

[–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 4 points 3 months ago

There are probably people on YT who do this live? Discord, not sure, but you could try Twitch during the debate and you might find one?

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 2 points 2 months ago

Fuck it, I'll make one: #presidential-debates:gregtech.eu

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The subtitles are live right? Should be ez enough to make a bot that dumps that into a channel

[–] tilefan@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not looking for a transcript, I want to talk to other people during the debate. I assume the YouTube chat will be a shitshow

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 3 months ago

Ahh, sorry for the misunderstanding!

I think your best bet is to find politics communities on disboard

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Discord? No idea. Some instances like Hexbear do this, depends on what kind of people you want to talk with.
