Revolt chat
Appears to be a fully FOSS(client+server) discord-like service if someone is willing to try it out

Yet another social media 'meme' service that won't last?. Even the name is pretty cringe, "Revolt"?. Sounds like it's right up Antifa's alley.

Trashed
problem with chats is that you have to interact with people

Afaik they obey EU laws on "hate speech", which are much much stricter than the USA's.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ April 20th, 2024, 14:52Appears to be a fully FOSS(client+server) discord-like service if someone is willing to try it out

Access the IRC via Pidgin and install an Emoji pack.
Discord-like interface (thus easier to convince normies to try it/get used to it) and much simpler backend server setup (matrix is a nightmare).Decline wrote: ↑ April 20th, 2024, 15:08What are the advantages and disadvantages vs. Element/Matrix?
I mean, LTSC can download the Microsoft Store if they really want (but why?). There is also a classic .exe installer on their Github.

Element/Matrix is a decentralized 'federated' bullshit thing that nobody actually wanted or asked for, just like every other 'federated' thing.Decline wrote: ↑ April 20th, 2024, 15:08What are the advantages and disadvantages vs. Element/Matrix?rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ April 20th, 2024, 14:59It's a self-hosted chatroom service.KnightoftheWind wrote: ↑ April 20th, 2024, 14:58Yet another social media 'meme' service that won't last?
I looked into this a bit and it seems extremely overly complicated to host tbh.

Maybe will try it later...
Storytime...about a year ago my team implemented a discord competitor chat to some degree which scales even better...
Really easy to run and has things like "multiple time" - one of those Alan Kay-ish wishlist things - as in you can post not just below a comment but side by side - some fun stuff like that included.
But we didn't succeed in getting VC for that. And well, without VC we can't afford to provide free audio or video chat. Which makes it not worth releasing, not competitive enough so far...
Does this offer free sound/camera or is it pure text? Encrypted or not? Or yes, but only if self-hosted?
