I’m trying to get away from corporate owned software and support FOSS stuff.

Normally if I wanted to play a game online I would use a discord server and some kind of vtt. Since discord is not looking great rn, where would you guys recommend playing?

Any vtt recs are good too but I don’t strictly need one. A way to chat and roll dice is essential though

    No reason to hate acronyms; they make communication much more efficient!
    They are annoying when you’re not in the clique that knows about them, I’ve found they can be hard to look up.

      Gatekeeping logic? Strange in a place like this…

      They do make communication more efficient, as long as everyone understands the definition. If they don’t, then acronyms and initials quickly make the communication inefficient, or worse, make the person that isn’t in the know feel excluded. In my professional life, I spend a lot of my time translating acronyms and trying to help people navigate the confusion of not knowing what things mean and wondering if they’re in over their head, all due to the constant use of jargon.

      My suggestion is to definite your acronyms the first time you use them or, if it’s a short message, spell the whole thing out and don’t mention the abbreviation at all.
