Make sure you use a different account name if you submit yourself to 1984 dystopia, so you screw up facial recognition subversion.

@Gargron .. I had not seen Zulip before. Thank you for putting it on my radar.
@targrus @Gargron Same. Also, thanks to this Discord affair, I learned about Stoat (formerly Revolt) https://stoat.chat

@Gargron Thank you for the move and for talking about this publicly!

@dmian I too had bookmarked this to see what other options folks were mentioning. Though personally I think the vibes are really off with Stoat. I don't think a one to one recreation of Discord is where I'd wanna go either.

@lutindiscret @Gargron Well maybe they didn't want to manage another Fedi service. So they chose a different option.

I don't understand why all centralized services suddenly insist on actually verifying their users' age for real. What was wrong with asking for a birth date or even just presenting a "yes I'm 18 or older" button? NSFW websites somehow still do just fine with that, but Discord, which is much less "risky" in comparison, somehow needs real verification?
Gosh I miss the old internet.

zulip is excellent. good software and seems like a good group of folks at the company.

@waltbaldwin @Gargron Tnx. With the @DutchWhovianCommunity there is a Discord server for the community, so I'm curious what the impact of the changes is going to be there.
But, also for other security and privacy reasons it most likely be a good thing to move away from Discord. But then, a large part of the community is also still mainly on Failbook and Instagram.
On Mastodon it's still a very small group. -
@Gargron don't forget us IRC folks have been working to reach feature parity with discord the whole time that people have been moving away from it
it's a pretty good alternative these days! -

@incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net @Gargron@mastodon.social
https://ircv3.net/ has some good information, but to name a few i don't think many people know about:- persistent history (now integrated into several ircds and most clients)
- seamless image/file upload from the app
- multi-line and -paragraph messages
- utf-8
- typing indicators
- proper replies
- emoji reactions
- in-app registration
- account profile pictures / descriptions / display names

@Gargron I'm surprised that you hadn't yet gone full libre in regards to your infrastructure. This also means you should reconsider moving out of Github for releases in the near future. -

@Gargron Selfhosted or in the (US) Zulip cloud?
-
@Gargron why not matrix?
@lefteristrip23 Far from 1:1 feature parity. No integrated voice or video in most implementations (leveraging Jitsi or something similar in many cases) is a big knock against Matrix.

@grishka "for the children" /s
It's because they want to know who you are, and they want to be able to attribute you to other services where this identity is known to build out their web of surveillance.
