soo where's the foss federated discord alternative at?
spacebar and stoat seem to still be a ways out, having something API compatible (spacebar) that makes it easy to port over bots and use existing clients sounds extremely promising (mobile apps maybe a lil harder but still very achievable)
but oh boy both these alternatives are so not ready for the main stage...
Is anyone looking at getting these projects funded?

@cas@social.treehouse.systems fluxer looks the best, but it need a bit more work - maybe 1-2 weeks

@cas XMPP has potential with movim working to implement discord like stuff
And Fluxer got rid of their CLA and they said they plan to implement federation eventually, with people already seeming to like it as a discord alternative, so there’s that I guess

@crse@social.linux.pizza @cas@social.treehouse.systems currently is not, but developing federation is top priority currently

@crse xmpp is closer than matrix (in that it has user status messages) but both are severely lacking in a whole host of ways:
* slick reliable UX (matrix sync is still laughable)
* guilds/servers
* voice "channels" (not calls!)
* easy custom emotes
* server side moderation/rewrite history - absolutely ridiculous to have to wait for delete events to federate
* all the other moderation tools, roles, permission management, anti-raid/spam mechanismsThe UX and reliability is really what matters though, i have a bunch of friends who all use discord and won't be willing to leave unless the large and small communities they're a part of do as well... We don't necessarily need feature parity today but we need something good enough to get early adopters
heck pmOS uses matrix and we would benefit hugely from having custom roles to help identify people and let us quickly reach people who maybe own or work on a particular device for example

@stephanie @crse that looks really promising! thanks
