We now have a chat room for the smallest of talks! Just kidding. Infodumping is encouraged.

Rather than using Discord, we'll be using Matrix, which is a FOSS equivalent. It's pretty intuitive, so signing up shouldn't be much of a hassle, but let me know if you have any difficulties.

Here's a list of most Matrix clients: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/

I don't have an iPhone, so I don't know what the iPhone equivalent for this is. If you find out, let me know and I will adjust this post and the sidebar.

what's that?

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

its a chat room like Discord, but the service is free and open-source software

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

federated discord?

[–] SeeMinusMinus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

To me matrix feels closer to irc then discord. Much more modern feeling then irc tho.

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really federated, but more so that the software isn't owned by a company.

You can chat on different servers, so I'd say it's federated.
