Ooo!!! I got something for you!! Spacebar.chat is a fucking great open source re-implimintation of Discord that works really well already! I talked to the devs and they're opposed to AI as well so no issues there. I think I suggested it for Starlight's No-AI list, it just hasn't been added yet.

I've been trying so hard to get more people over there, it kicks ass.


#Spacebar #discord
A rapid #keyboard test revealed all keys work fine, except for #spacebar.
These are just #mechanicalswitches, so I could probably replace it with a modern #gatheron blue, but then I'd see if the key stem is compatible (it seems not).

I dunno nothin' about nothin', but from trying out almost all the Discord alts that have popped up, I feel like something we're not supporting nearly enough is a shared protocol for them to use. One that's better than the Matrix protocol. So far I don't think any of the alts are particularly federated or e2ee, right? So maybe we could throw some development/documentation/translation/monetary support towards PolyProto?

In reaction to the impending invasion of privacy #Discord wishes to force upon all of its userbase, along with a desire to use open source and community-run platforms over proprietary, VC-backed platforms, I have created an #OpenRGB guild on #Spacebar. If you don't know, Spacebar is an open source, self-hostable Discord alternative. Their intention is to replicate Discord's API and user experience.

Small list I have put together for alternatives to #discord
I am looking at this from a non-technical perspective...

Willing to hear about other platforms though/

#Matrix = YES = BUT Onboarding is difficult.
#Root = MAYBE = US-Based... Has funding from Crunchyroll founder

#Stoat / #Revolt = YES = Has potential, needs time to develop.
#Spacebar = NO = Not actively developed. (Last commit 10 months ago)
#TeamSpeak 3/6 = NO = Requires joining voice channel in order to text chat.

Now that I finally have some time over the next year, i'm replacing my wasdkeyboard with a custom built keyboard from the ground up. Came across this absolutely fascinating rundown on keyboards, but specifically the biggest key of them all, the SPACEBAR and how stabilizing it led a machinist down the rabbit hole, which I'm seemingly now looking out of.
