@rek2 you left out #Jami, which has a much more consistent #UX across platforms than #Tox (eg none of the Tox mobile apps I've tried support group chat). You also left out #BigBlueButton, which I keep hearing is much less of a resource hog on the server-side than #JitsiMeet, and I can confirm JM is a massive resource hog on the client-side. I haven't used #Discord but I've heard #Riot (#Matrix client) is a pretty good substitute?

@bhaugen @aran I presume that by "self-hosted" they mean a private instance they host for you, as opposed to a group of accounts on the company's public flagship instance. I agree this use of language is ambiguous to the point of misleading, just like #Discord giving communities their own "server", which is nothing of the sort, just a set of channels of their servers. I'm willing to give ERPnext the benefit of the doubt, for now, as it could be genuine confusion about the right language to use.

@banjofox I would suggest #Riot as a #Discord replacement rather than #Jami. The voice calls on Jami are pretty good (haven't tested video yet), especially for a serverless app, but it's not great for text chat and currently has no group text chat feature (although group voice calls are possible. I'm curating a list of free code replacements for proprietary team chat apps:

@switchingsocial @Jami

@kaniini maybe from a dev or sysadmin POV. From the POV of a user looking for a drop-in replacement for #Discord or #Slack, #XMPP currently offers nothing comparable with the #UX of #Riot.

@Wolf480pl ae, I've definitely come across this one. It's a classic black/white. The two options are #IRC or #Discord (or #Slack or whatever), and since Discord is proprietary, we must defend IRC come hell or high water. The fact there are a multitude of third options never seems to be noticed by the "nationalists" on either side of the debate. Here's some FWIW:

> Also, why discord, and not matrix? It seems like paying to be spied on to me.

No idea, I've never tried #Discord, but I know dedicated gamers who hangs out there a lot. I'd guess that as in most cases of #DataFarm vs. #FreeNetworkService, it's a case of the datafarm having a more pleasing #UX.

@chosafine something like social.coop? Good move not to use #Discord, there are heaps of free code replacements:

I made !summon and !gif commands for my #Discord bot yesterday, to embed images (from Google Images) and GIFs (from Tenor) based on search strings. Favorite part: while the bot is thinking, it shows the "X is typing…" indicator. #bots

Right, so recently I started actually visiting #discord, despite my numerous disagreements with it for multiple reasons. So that I don't need their web client or their so-called "desktop" client I guess I should setup bitlbee.
