or furthermore, as an example, why not XMPP/Jabber?
maybe a good reason but definitely the first questions I had.
or furthermore, as an example, why not XMPP/Jabber?
There is already a chat system based on ActivityPub: https://shoot.pub
HEY HEY HEY, don’t get me wrong now but I’m seeing dozens of Discord-like apps over the past year and can’t understand one thing about them, which is WE ALREADY HAVE THE CHAT PART SINCE FUCKING 1988, it’s called IRC, it’s lightweight, not bloated, works everywhere, extendible and still maintained.
Discord (and Slack) are proprietary IRC forks themselves and adds almost NOTHING to that equation.
It’s the voice/video call part that Discord solved an none of these forks attempting to tackle that part.
Stoat and Fluxer already have voice/video solved just like Discord.
I wouldn’t call it a “solved” problem… I don’t use Fluxer but from what I read in online discussions it’s something that’s currently a pain point since they’re currently trying to overhaul the system
I wonder how much of it is vibe coded and when will it lose updates after being released…
It has a single committer and there are two commits with Claude as co-author, so I would suggest it’s probably about as you’d expect.
OK, but why not matrix?
