I've heard good things about Lemmy

I think the thing to worry about is these corporations centrally controlling this data. With one fell swoop, they can do whatever they want with it. With forums, at least they weren't controlled by one company.
True, but then you get oddities where it asks if my FIL and Santa are the same person
Wait until you have photos spanning from, not only your child, but your cousins' children who are photographed less often. Google can easily match up an infant to the same 10 year old child. Hell, I can barely do that sometimes and have to use context clues to figure out who the infant was.
I loved this skit! Also, it's clear Heidi Gardner must have not seen them in costume until the live performance. She lost it and that would have happened to me too if I was in her shoes!
I'd say so with those constant little dopamine hits. Shit, I'm 40 and I've had to put a bunch of efforSHIT IM ON LEMMY AGAIN!
It's a parody
Usually /msg NickServ help can get you pointed in the right direction
IRC is an open standard. No one owns it, so anyone can make a client. Discord, is locked down and proprietary. One of the benefits of this is that they can onboard users with a refined experience. IRC requires newcomers to do a bit of homework to choose an IRC client and choose a network/server.
IRC is open. If you aren't around, someone can join the server using your nickname, so IRC services were created to help combat this. Some networks use other services, but mainly there's NickServ which you setup an account with to register your nick. If anyone tries to impersonate you, NickServ will do bad things to the imposter
Discord also retains chat history. When you join a channel on IRC, you don't see any of the previous chat history.
The great thing about IRC is that it's not owned by a corporation. If you're interested in a modern open standard that has the same features as Discord, check out Matrix
