I don’t know if I was blind the other day or if it wasn’t there, but the headphone icon is definitely there now. Cheers!

This is an old message I only just noticed, but maybe that’s better anyway…

…because my ChatGPT app is up to date and doesn’t have a headphone icon to the right of the text box. There’s a soundwave icon that lets me use speech to text, but that’s not what this is.

Can anyone use this? Right now?

They created the “inbox” button on the desktop client because when you’re in a ton of servers, finding where the notification was a big pain point. The notifications tab covers the same thing for the app, and it’s very readily accessible now. I think before the update it still took about 3 taps to get to the “Inbox”, and only then if you knew where it was hiding.

I just signed up and tried to figure out how to join any remotely interesting community. There were none.

There were a bunch of public communities - not many - and I think the most interesting ones in the public room list were either Element Android, Telegram, and Rust. And Rust is one of my most hated games that I wish I’d refunded.

Why doesn’t Matrix just call “spaces” servers? By calling them spaces, they have created a learning curve for no reason.

Even just saying you have to download a client called Element to access Matrix is not intuitive. To access Discord, you download a client called Discord.

They ban everyone who attempt to use a custom client?

I’ve been using Betterdiscord for years and have never been banned. Matrix looks good, but I don’t think you’re selling it well by throwing Discord under the bus without some very clear and obvious justification - nobody will be inclined to believe you.

Do you have discord open on your desktop PC?

10+ minutes sounds like about the amount of time it takes for discord to recognise you’re away (ie. auto-away status). If it thinks you’re there (ie. online status), then it shouldn’t be also pinging your phone. It’s the same as when you have discord on your phone and open and it doesn’t ping you with every message while you’re already looking at it.

I just had a look at Matrix and it seems that the settings let you choose between Off/On/Noisy. Apps like whatsapp default and keep you stuck on “Noisy”.
