@volpeon also common are a bunch of extra channels that nobody uses

@volpeon weird thought but, I think Matrix is actually a good way to fix this, because you can easily set up bridges to other platforms, allowing you to pull discord, telegram, etc together, and connect them, so that when people have to jump from one to another place, nothing truly changes, and it also invites people when they see things happening in other places in the same channels they usually communicate. I've been thinking of building an integrated community for a while.. maybe I should.

@terrance_shaw @volpeon the main barrier is that people use whatever everyone else uses. In the paraphrased words of the Mastodon creator, 'if everyone used smoke signals for social media, that's what everyone would keep using'.my current fear is that the alternatives are far between. Signal might be good but is centrally controlled. Matrix I personally like but is too complicated for some (especially if you want video/voice calls) and their E2EE is not perfect either. Tempted to write smthing

@forst Yes. "Copilot" isn't a job title (at least in aviation).Fact: it's possible to have two captains on an airplane, working in the same cockpit to operate the same airplane at the same time. It's not all that common, but it *does* happen.(They do have to decide who is pilot in command, as well as who is pilot flying and pilot monitoring respectively.)You can also have a working cockpit crew without any captain. Happens on long haul flights with a single relief first officer.@volpeon
