Weiß eigentlich einer wie es um #Spacebar (früher #Fosscord) steht? Sind die gut im Rennen? Könnten wir einen selbst ghosteten Discord Server haben?
hey chat... dusting away my fediverse account for a PSA of some sorts

if you want to divest away from discord but have Opinions when it comes to matrix, xmpp and all that... i suggest you to take a look at Spacebar.

https://github.com/spacebarchat

It's an open, self-hostable protocol that is built to be compatible as possible with Discord's API and specs...
so it's kinda like Discord except not propietary spyware BS while also not suffering from Matrix or XMPP jank

Also.. it's compatible with the upcoming Polyphony protocol that @alexia has been talking about for a while now

SpacebarChat - Selfhosted, secure communication that you're already familiar with

Spacebar is a free and open source reverse engineering and reimplementation of Discord, including both the backend and frontend. It's a chat platform similar to Slack and Rocket.chat

Wow, SpaceBar (formlery called "Fosscord") looks a lot like Discord.

SpaceBar is an open-source alternative to Discord.

@voj What about #Fosscord (or #spacebarchat with its new name) ? I guess there is two different #foss project that trying to clone #discord UI. But #spacebarchat also trying to make their project compatible with official discord servers. Probably they just doing #reverseengineering

@SWAT @Amandine @carlschwan @matrix

#Revolt @revoltchat
or
#Spacebar formerly #fosscord

But both of them under heavy development and #Revolt wont support any kind of federation

#Spacebar would implement federation, have no voice support at the Moment, because no webrtc implementation yet.

@glassbottommeg I noticed that too. And it's convienient that alternatives like #Revolt or #Spacebar (previously #Fosscord) start popping up. Good old #TeamSpeak @teamspeak is also working on a new client. And then there is #Matrix @matrix.

None of these are a replacement (yet) but they all have potential.

@sandrahurrah

Das ist zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt die Krux, eine vollumfängliche Alternative gibt es mMn noch nicht.

Aber der Matrix-Client Cinny fiele mir da ein:

Mit Revolt.Chat gibt es ein FOSS-Projekt, welches versucht eine 1:1 Kopie zu sein.
Allerdings nicht föderiert wie zb. Matrix:

https://revolt.chat/

Und Fosscord, wobei ich beide noch nicht für marktreif halte:

A Matrix client where you can enjoy the conversation using simple, elegant and secure interface protected by e2ee with the power of open source.

Yes my friend, I'll be happy to give my 2¢ 🙂

There's another one in the FOSS world too, IIRC, and on the deprecated, legacy silo side a lot of discordant discordians, of their own accord, and suffering from discordance (oh, i can be a punster sometimes), have migrated in large waves, en masse, as their **communities** (I refuse to call them servers) moved from discord to "Guilded"

#Guilded is a much more lax, permissive, and welcoming platform and they've made it very attractive fur s lot of so-called 'influencers' and big gaming, streaming, and cosplay communities to jump ship, so to speak.

Other than that, it's the same exact model, with a prettier face, and we all know that's fleeting. There will come a time when, like any other proprietary platform that gets too big for its breeches, Guilded will forget that it's the users that are important, instead of merely a bother.

Anyway, I haven't looked at #FOSScord at all in sbout six months. The project lead of Revolt was actually over there, reluctantly digging their devs out of some problematic issues they were having here and there.

They had a really ambitious roadmap (including some form of federating between instances), an unrealistic timeline to achieving that, and still aren't ready for primetime - I'm rooting for them however 💫

Here's my **Community** over at Revolt, complete with invite code, even though it's open to the public:

#^https://app.revolt.chat/invite/TAfhhpRK

I'm not there much. But enjoy. I've got some mods that take care of bad actors, but without someone there promoting them, why fun m during goes quiet after a while. I'm probably going to get more active there once I get a couple off other priorities out of the way over there next couple of months.

Anyway, it offers some pretty decent looking examples of what you can do, and it's pretty much on par with discord.

There's a lengthy blog buried, but you can find it, where the creator exiplains why he has no plans to incorporate federation, and it's easily self-hosted. I like it a lot, butt there discord look and feel never really impressed me that much in discord, so if you like discord, this should be a shoe in fur you're open source project because it's got all the bells and whistles and even bots, dinner if which can bridge to other networks too, skyhigh I've let my bots fall into a state of disrepair to some degree lolz.

Give it a whirl! It really is nice 👍
