I'm genuinely curious what would be a good alternative to Discord for something like this

[–] Corbin@programming.dev 10 points 6 months ago

Mattermost is the most obvious option; it's a clone of Slack. IRC is another good option, although I know a lot of people hate it because they prefer features to freedom. I cannot recommend Matrix; the UX is fine but the cryptography has a few issues, as documented by Soatok here.

Revolt chat. Pretty much an open source discord.

IRC, XMPP, Matrix (in order of personal preference)

It's ironic so many people are cucking to discord, having left reddit for lemmy

I went to discord.com for looking where does it say it. I found nothing. are they really claim this?

The joke is that they say they like free and open source software but then point to communicating via software that is not.

It’s a shit joke to be fair, like what, you can’t believe in open source unless you use nothing but open source? Fucking stupid

I was devastated when I learned X-Moto dumped their forums in favor of dicksword. You have the infrastructure already set up, why replace it with garbage, especially as an open source project?
