@dave A fine thing for many protocols, but for the niche that Discord / #Zulip fills it's not a dealbreaker for me.

Even the free cloud tier of #ZulipChat lets you export settings to migrate hosts, if that should ever become a requirement

Your organisation’s data will be exported in a format designed for imports into Zulip Cloud or a self-hosted installation of Zulip. You will be able to export all public data, and (optionally) private data from users who have given their permission.

@MxVerda @BrodieOnLinux @qdot Well, depending on what you want to develop or communicate there are various options.

• Many folks went from #GitHub to @Codeberg / #Codeberg to do their #FLOSS development as it too has #IssueTrackers and means to discuss things without #loginwalled read-only access. Others like @torproject have their own @gitlab / #GitLab servers #SelfHosted.

• If you want a #Chat then consider #LiberaChat if you don't demand #privacy. Otherwise @delta / #deltaChat and/or #XMPP via @monocles & @gajim may be an option.

• If you do want some #LoginWalling for some reason, consider @zulip / #ZulipChat as it has a nice #threading model that can handle both asynchronous communication and high traffic without becoming unfindable or unarchiveable. Otherwise there's like @RocketChat / #RocketChat which also works great by my own experience.

Case in point: #discord just makes it more cumbersome and painful than anything. It's basically #Slack + #MicrosoftTeams, but worse…

@veloren You could also have a look at #Zulipchat. It's still a chat-like thing and things could get buried, but many people consider their approach to threads superior to all other methods.

Basically, every message is assigned to a thread, and although I do not work with Zulip daily, in the communities where Zulip was used, I never had any problems with quickly finding content in chat history.

No promises, but it's not uncommon for Drupal 7 contrib module port requests to be filled within a few days, if the module is relatively simple.

It always helps to show up in our #Zulipchat instance and engage with the community.

Thanks to @coderefinery, we also started using #zulip and it changed the way we worked - remote work wasn't a chore, but much better than what we were doing before. And we've shown it to many more students.

Would highly recommend #zulipchat to anyone interested in making chat better.
