I've made some channels in our Zulip web-public, so anybody from the Internet can read without making an account there!

This is possible thanks to the generous sponsorship from Zulip! Thanks!

 Never mentioned my other software release on fediverse, but after year and a half from last release why not do that too.

RcGcDw got 1.17 update! This awkwardly named software and even more awkwardly coded software is a #MediaWiki program to basically bring you a feed of MediaWiki wiki's recent changes to #Discord, or... Not?

It was only supporting Discord webhooks in the past, however thanks to Minecraft Wiki community that got a new place on #Zulip, an optional hook was developed that bridges recent changes to Zulip as well. And since I'm mainly a #Matrix user, I've also wrote a bare bones hook for that platform, I use it for Super Animal Royale wiki community.

Both hooks were made out of necessity and haven't gone through extensive testing, however they work for purposes of my communities, if there is any visible need for that functionality I can spend more time on it.

Other than that more support for MW extension log events got added, 2 more languages and a lot of internal changes to support other software I've rewritten.

Either way, RcGcDw development is very much in maintenance mode at this point. There is a wiki with some rather short documentation https://gitlab.com/chicken-riders/RcGcDw/-/wikis/home.

If you need a recent changes feed for your #wiki community in chat solution of your choice, and you can self host, it might be something of interest to you. 

I really hope Discord fucking burns to the ground. Apart from 100% of people using that crap, that place's full of really messed up weirdos and child exploiters, same with Roblox

I did have Matrix back in 2022 but nobody talked to me with that thing so I got rid of it and last time I used Discord was back in December 2025.

Zulip is a wonderful blend of the good old forums' ability to keep information accessible, and Discord's fast-paced formula; the way it's organised and displayed to the user is fairly unique and slightly alien, but it presents an amazing opportunity to sort and organise the discussions in your community space.

You know how the Discord threads are kind of useless?

Zulip puts threads, or "topics", front and centre - when you click on a channel, you end up browsing the most recently active topic, and see a list of other available topics. You can start and archive topics as you see fit. Archived and resolved topics are out of the way, but still accessible rather than getting lost under piles of fresh messages.
