Came across this on the r/selfhosted community. Still very much in the alpha stages, but it’s already got a Docker image you can try out for yourself, or try out the demo server.
Tried it earlier today, couldn’t get the voice/video chat to work right away on my self-hosted setup but the real-time chat was very snappy. Looks promising.
While I appreciate the effort devs put into making open source alternatives to a closed source app, the naming convention is really starting to get irritating…
Discord splits out to
YouTube has
Libre-this, Libre-that, Libre-cock and balls.
…I would love for devs to separate their software’s name just a little bit more from the thing they’re trying to replace. Please. Just be more unique. The name can still have a nod to what it’s replacing and not just be a partial modification to the original name.
Reminds me of the guy in that show Silicon Valley who was basically a plant / spy (Jianyang?), and his grand visions for all his apps were creatively named:
“Chinese Facebook, Chinese Instagram, Chinese Twitter. . .”
