3@lain It is good! Because it might lead to people choosing self-hosted open source alernatives instead of centralized corporate solutions with built in surveillance.

Why not IRC?
Because then normies won't talk to you.

@phnt @h4890 @lain If you want normies to leave Discord, you have to target them. If you don't care what they do because they have demonstrated over and over again that they prefer walled gardens to the forest, and so strongly that they prefer walled *sewers* to the forest, and you just want Eric Schmidt to stop coming into your house at night to smell your hair, then you don't have to target them: you just tell them you don't use Discord and you can continue to enjoy IRC.
@Suiseiseki @h4890 @phnt @p @lain I dont really want normies to leave Discord tbh, normies ruin everything they touch

@phnt @p @lain This is not so interesting. I am not a fan of the matrix project. If I needed a chat, I'd go with irc which you can run on a raspberry pi at home.
If you need to cater to young people, maybe mattermost might give them that sweet web 3.0 feeling?
Generally though, anything that primarily relies on a web interface is not so good.
