  2. Greetings Programs!! We're back with our last day stream in awhile. That's sad news, but the good news is that's because I've got a new contract starting tomorrow!

    Anyways, come on by as we work on @pidgin 3.0 Alpha 2! Specifically we're trying to get DMs working with #Zulip today. We're close and hoping to get it done for the April State of the Bird!

    Das Datenschutz-Problem mit Push-Benachrichtigungen – sehr eindringlich und unterhaltsam erklärt von Merle Fäller

    Ich wollte nur Zulip-Notifications auf dem Handy. Also habe ich angefangen, selbst was zu bauen – und bin in ein Rabbit Hole gefallen.
    Dieser Vortrag erzählt die Geschichte, wie ich versucht habe, ein Problem zu lösen – und dabei verstanden habe, wie Push-Notifications wirklich funktionieren. Warum mein erster Ansatz nicht skaliert. Warum fast jede App Firebase oder APNs nutzt. Warum selbst Signal bei Google anklopft. Und warum das seit dem Wyden-Brief von 2023 ein dokumentiertes Privacy-Problem ist: »We kill people based on metadata.«
    Ich zeige, welche Alternativen es mit UnifiedPush und ntfy gibt, wie ich eine Bridge für Zulip gebaut habe, und warum das gleiche Problem auch für Prometheus-Alerts, Grafana-Notifications und CI/CD-Pipelines gilt. Und was das mit digitaler Souveränität zu tun hat.

  14. No shade to the video and other alternatives. They're cool and all and I hope more people move out of Discord so it burns to the ground and never recover again, but I'm 100% confident nobody will talk to me regardless if I use any alternatives to Discord so I'm not seeing myself using one of these anytime soon. It's just pointless for me haha

    #discord #roblox #matrix #teamspeak #rocketchat #mattermost #zulip #stoat #fluxer #element #opensource #selfhosting #selfhost

  15. Before I stopped using it, I told everyone to leave my discord channel because of mental issues. That shit made me feel even more lonely than not using it cos nobody talks to me.

    I've always had this trouble with IM's. I guess I'm not very interesting. Now with that age verification crap, I'm not using that thing anymore.

    #discord #roblox #matrix #teamspeak #rocketchat #mattermost #zulip #stoat #fluxer #element #opensource #selfhosting #selfhost

  16. I really hope Discord fucking burns to the ground. Apart from 100% of people using that crap, that place's full of really messed up weirdos and child exploiters, same with Roblox

    I did have Matrix back in 2022 but nobody talked to me with that thing so I got rid of it and last time I used Discord was back in December 2025.

  18. #flickboard v0.3.2 is out! Now with an official #zulip chat room (replacing Discord) and overhauled enter key management.

    codeberg.org/natkr/flickboard/

  19. Après cette semaine j'ai quand-même envie de refaire un point sur les solutions alternatives à #Discord et où elles en sont selon moi :

    • #StoatChat c'est bébé Discord, même UX, l'interface est un copié collé. Et raisonnablement je pense que tout le monde va aller là dessus comme tout le monde est parti de Twitter pour aller sur Bluesky. Et le problème ben... C'est que c'est bébé Discord, l'hébergement en open source n'est qu'un afterthought, c'est donc très centralisé et j'ai pas trop confiance dans le fait que ça soit pérenne en terme de techno libératrice.
    • #Mattermost, #Zulip et similaires, c'est très bon en terme d'UX quand on vient de Discord même si l'aspect est sûrement trop corporate, J'pense que c'est la meilleure solution pour migrer immédiatement. Le problème étant que c'est décentralisé mais pas fédéré donc la charge technique et financière tombe sur les organisataires de communauté qui vont devoir chacun trouver et payer un hébergeur avec un tarif dépendant de la taille de leur communauté (ou se regrouper pour mutualiser ça mais ça fait aussi une charge organisationnelle en plus) et côté utilisataires on va se retrouver à potentiellement faire autant de comptes que de communautés qu'on rejoint sans que les applications tiennent compte de cet usage (elles sont faites pour être inscrit sur deux ou trois instances, pas 36) donc ça va être relou aussi.
    • #Matrix c'est de la merde. C'est décentralisé et fédéré mais le réseau s'effondre dès que le gros serveur ramouille, en terme d'UX c'est le désastre, les applis sont mal fichues, affichent partout des messages incompréhensibles ou inutiles, rament de ouf, on nous parle de chiffrement à toutes les sauces (en termes obscurs) mais il y a plein de bugs bizarres et des problèmes de synchronisation entre clients et entre serveurs. Et l'implémentation des espaces (l'équivalent des "serveurs" Discord) a été faite par des gens qui ont pas compris à quoi ça servait.
    • #XMPP c'est pas prêt. Ça a vingt ans et il y a un gros héritage du passé, l'UX est aux fraises, il y a des bizarreries à tous les coins de rue, les applications ont toutes les options de la terre et des paramètres par défaut aberrants. Mais c'est décentralisé, fédéré, il y a plein d'hebergeurs, ça peut absorber des afflux d'utilisataires sans broncher et sans faire tomber les serveurs des copains. S'il vous plaît les gens qui font de l'UX, allez voir les gens qui développent XMPP et s'il vous plaît, par pitié, les gens qui développent, écoutez les. XMPP le protocole c'est le turfu depuis plus de 20 ans, XMPP les clients c'est le passé depuis toujours, faut vraiment faire quelque chose même si ça semble aller dans la bonne direction. Faudrait sûrement aller petitionner les gens qui font #StoatChat pour qu'iels transforment leur truc en client XMPP en vrai. Là on pourrait dire go.

    Et je vais essayer d'arrêter mon hyperfixation de la semaine sur ce sujet parce que je me fatigue, probablement je vous fatigue aussi et je pense que si je continuais là dessus ça serait juste redondant.

  20. I hope the few #Discord servers I occasionally check have the good sense of moving to #Matrix. Or #XMPP, or #IRC, or #DeltaChat, or #Stoat, or #Zulip, or #Jami, or #Briar, or #RocketChat, or #Mumble... heckssake there are WAY TOO MANY open-source services you can move your chatroom to.
  21. @[email protected] danke für euer Feedback und toll das ihr das in Betracht zieht.
    Denn beides passt eben nicht zusammen
    😉

    Matrix ist schon ein echt tolles Instrument und wenn ihr es schafft, eure Nutzerbasis da mit hinzunehmen, wäre das noch besser.

    Was ich selber auch noch recht gut finde, ist
    #Mattermost.
    Es gibt aber auch noch
    #Revolt, #ZAP und #Zulip, falls ihr euch das noch ansehen wollt

  24. Oh, interesting, looks like the #Zulip containers include the email server setup for sending and receiving emails.
    So I guess "left as an exercise to the reader" is how to run multiple email servers on your infra, especially if besides this functionality for Zulip you would also want regular email server, and maybe something like #SimpleLogin
    I guess it might be possible on a single IP with something accepting emails for all, and then talking to the appropriate server. Or maybe haproxy/nginx 🤔

  25. @larsmb No - but I just passed this on to a friend group that is also on #Discord and starting to eye alternatives as #Discord is progressing on the #entshitification
    #Zulip looks really good at first glance

  26. @mikebroberts
    I don't get why #Zulip is not used more often in "forums", for support work and for general community building. IMO, it's got modern UI and it's purpose-built to organize communities and help with asynchronous communication that can be searched later. Plus, it's entirely free and open source software and there are both self hosting and paid hosting options.

    No other solution I know comes close, especially not the ones that focus on #VoiceChat or try to mimic #Discord, e.g. #Revolt.

  31. @joshb @EposVox EXACTLY THAT!

    #Discord is worse than #Mailingists, #IRC and #Forums combined because those - like #GitHub #Issues or any other public site & server - can at least be #crawled and #archived in a #searchable fashion.

    Whereas Discord is peak #Enshittification and not only #AntiAccessibility but also the worst kind of communication solution, as there isn't even any option to export stuff from within it - something even #Slack & #MicrosoftTeams can do [#Zulip has been able to do that from the start]...

    Discord is a bad and wrong excuse not to provide #public documentation and/or downloads.

    #GithubPages is free & #DDoS-protected #Webhosting and for fast downloads on the cheap, #BitTorrent exists for almost two decades now...

    I mean, do people who use Discord know how many times people like me needed to use @internetarchive / #InternetArchive's #WaybackMachine to access contents?
    How many hours of labour have been collectively saved by #DuckDuckGo #InstantAnswer linking to the correct #StackOverflow / #ServerFault thread??

    Discord is an #InformationBlackHole and should be regarded with the same public accessibility as a intelligence agency's database: Don't use it and don't contribute to it - period!

    #SharingIsCaring #WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue

  35. > Mattermost, Rocket.Chat, and Zulip are three of the most advanced integrated messaging platforms, and each has many integrations and client applications for various computing platforms, just like Slack. Even more ambitious is the Matrix project, which has defined an open rich messaging standard, with its Riot client and Synapse reference server.

    > What's a good :fosstodon: alternative for discordapp?

    Are you asking for an alternative to *discord* as a whole or for an alternative *client*/desktop app to use with discord?

    If the former, you have lots of options (I personally like , but I've also heard good things about )

    If the latter, you're pretty much out of luck—the discord ToS forbid third-party clients and I don't know of any good open-source clients (I use , but it's not FOSS, sadly )

  40. Zulip scheint auch nicht schlecht zu sein, ist ein Chatsoftware, fast wie Discord, aber halt ohne Voice. Man kann einen eigenen Server erstellen. Finde das Konzept eigentlich so sehr gelungen, werde ich mal näher testen ;D
