They don't, officially, as far as I know it's always been an "at your own risk, might get your account banned" endeavor.

No, problem not solved, problem half-heartedly worked around. People dislike Discord for several reasons, bridging it to whatever different platform will at best be a bandaid.

It absolutely is. Yet, as Sean said, it's also yet another bit of software to run and maintain, and ES is known to be a bit of an effort to keep going well.

Admins having only finite amounts of time and/or resources, might make the very understandable decision to leave it out.

 

This blogpost starts with me switching of my car radio, and ends with me writing a browser. There is some stuff in between as well.

Interesting take from the author; exactly the kind of thing that might start something big — or maybe it won't, and that's OK, too. Either way, I can appreciate the attitude!

(There's also a discussion on the orange site)

Kbin can do Microblogs, but I'm not sure what you mean with "alternative to chronological feed"?

Iain M. Banks: we're living in an AI-regulated Utopia, but the AI that we totally trust might be doing some light imperialism on the side.

Pratchett / Baxter: we're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, and another one, and another one, and another one, and oops, a blank...

Edit: added the Long Earth one.

I'm currently giving Karousel a go, seems like a decent step between a full on tiling wm (which isn't for me, really) and a stacking one.

they have to rid themselves of third-party clients so that the app store numbers can't be extrapolated to verify site-wide user activity.

I must be having a pre-morning-coffee dumb, but how would this extrapolation realistically work, in your opinion? Those install numbers aren't exactly... exact, from what I understand.
