@eddiereasoner I think #discord is a red-flag, because it's too "low-effort", too "slumming it", too prone to future platform rug-pulls and creepy policy changes, and not reliably searchable. Far better #OpenSource alternatives exist today, and aren't all that hard to set up, for the sufficiently motivated geek: #PHPBB, #Discourse, #Flarum, #Prosody, #Deltachat, #Zulip, etc. Surely one of them, or something similar, is acceptable, given each of them, in their unique strength.

I say 600MB of RAM is passable because my cheap on-prem server has 16GB of it

Huh, I guess #Zulip may be falling off of #flathub. I wonder what else 🤔

@atoponce In a company I used to work for we had adopted #Zulip as a chat system. It worked really well. And the threads/topics were something to get used to, but it made a lot of sense.

Too bad that some voices had lobbied against Zulip (in favour of Slack ... which 'everybody else' was doing). The migration happened, and ongoing costs for it were *much* higher, and usability was down. But ... the moaners got their wish to use Slack and not Zulip :-/

@zulip rocks!

The founder and three senior team members of Zulip are joining Anthropic:
Tim Abbott, Alya Abbott, Greg Price, and Alex Vandiver

And they are "donating the company" to a new non-profit #Zulip Foundation:
with the first three above as the board (plus Josh Triplett) and "Interim President" Kim Vandiver (notice the same last name as the other person who's joining Anthropic)

Announcing the Zulip Foundation

Today marks a major transition for the Zulip open-source project and for Kandra Labs, the company behind it: I’m stepping back from full-time Zulip leadership to join Anthropic, alongside three senior team members, and we’re donating the company to a newly created, independent, nonprofit Zulip Foundation. …

J'hésite à proposer aux collègues professeurs de musique (et aux élèves) d'organiser le concert de fin d'année à l'aide de Zulip plutôt qu'une collection de groupes WhatsApp... Mais j'ai un peu peur de ne pas convaincre, que cela paraisse trop complexe, ou que ce soit mon propre manque de maîtrise de whatsapp (en plus des nombreuses questions éthiques posées) qui me fassent envisager cette proposition.

💰 Zulip becomes a Foundation after Anthropic hired its senior team.

"I’m stepping back from Zulip to join Anthropic because of its remarkable commitment to the responsible development of AI for the long-term benefit of humanity. Three additional members of Zulip’s longtime leadership team are also joining me at Anthropic: Alya Abbott, Greg Price, and Alex Vandiver"
