https://stoat.chat/ Stoat is "discord but FOSS". Has apps for all platforms. Self-hostable.
https://zulip.com/ zulip is kind of like "discord but FOSS". Originally meant for work teams, it has topic-based conversation threads for asynchronous messaging. Self-hostable. Uses either jitsi meet, zoom or bigbluebutton protocols for calls (hoster's choice). Has apps for all platforms. Features: https://zulip.com/features/
https://chitchatter.im/ chitchatter is an ephemeral chat web app. It is lightweight and embeddable, doesn't require signing up, does video/audio calls and text/media chat. The web app is self-hostable. It's purely peer to peer, so it cannot store messages for asynchronous communication unless you leave the app running. You create a channel, share its URL (and password if it is private), and keep it open to catch messages sent to it.
https://docs.spacebar.chat/#what-is-spacebar Spacebar is a self-hosted alternative to discord's back-end. It aims to be a drop-in replacement that should be compatible with discord clients and bots that were only made with the discord API in mind, e.g. Dissent ( https://github.com/diamondburned/dissent ). It is explicitly compatible with the https://fermi.chat/ web client too, if others don't work as well, since it is still in development.
Boosts greatly encouraged, let's help people make an informed choice!
#FOSS #Discord #ageverification #privacy #boycott@konstruct If I recall from my testing a bit back, the stoat mobile app doesn't support custom hosts without recompilation.

@NaahraTheScaled good to note, I'll check if that's still the case later, and it can always change as development goes

#FOSS #Discord #ageverification #privacy #boycott@konstruct Spacebar looks kinda interesting, though I wonder how heavy that backend is.

@faoluin I was able to get it to run for short, but I wasn't able to use it, because their client had their URL hardcoded and I couldn't bother to change it, IDK if that is fixed now. it looked promising it did actually had voicechat working. @konstruct

#FOSS #Discord #ageverification #privacy #boycott@konstruct i tried making an account on stoat now and i kept waiting for half an hour for the verification mail, confused if i did something wrong
then saw they posted this on bluesky. if anyone else is also having this issue, try again later, their database is currently on fire it seems (writing this here so anyone who read your alternatives list doesn't immediately give up on stoat when they see it doesn't work right now)

#FOSS #Discord #ageverification #privacy #boycott@konstruct@woof.tech So in general I have been having a very good time with zulip. One thing that's worth mentioning is that it includes some nasty LLM gunk. A friend of mine put together a patch to remove this, but that's only useful if you're admining your own server.

#FOSS #Discord #ageverification #privacy #boycott@konstruct a good overview. For an informed choice, maybe clearly state that stoat does not do voice chat (as far as I can tell, they don't mention it once), which at least to me would be implied with “discord but FOSS”.
Spacebar sounds very interesting. -
