Now that people have moved from reddit to lemmy I’m glad to be using more FOSS software. Now all that’s left is discord but I can’t find a good replacement.
Confusion here between ‘Service’ and ‘Software’ methinks…
Here’s Discord running in a FOSS browser…
So I wouldn’t be worrying about software.
If you get Beeper.com which is based on Matrix.org you can have both: FOSS and chatting with your friends on Discord.
Thought so too, but they actually don’t charge anything. Wonder if I’m the product then.
https://blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-is-now-free Turns out they are going to provide a “Plus” version with extra features for paying customers. So, its not bad I guess!
I used the ‘betterdiscord-installer’.
Ferdium still looking good.
However, Discord isn’t so much an application as a protocol - you’re just changing the client.
There is also Rocket.chat, to complete the list, though it is supposed to be difficult to host.
I would recommend Matrix. My small instance is running Conduit, and it works great!
