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.

Initial setup and experiments with Spacebar actually went pretty well! Hype to get some friends accessing the instance from outside my home network and see how it handles that. :O

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.

Weiß eigentlich einer wie es um #Spacebar (früher #Fosscord) steht? Sind die gut im Rennen? Könnten wir einen selbst ghosteten Discord Server haben?
And the #TrackPoint wish I can "hack in" by replacing the #SpaceBar with several 1U keys and shoving the 3 mouse buttons and trackpoint in between!
