I think you will be back at Ipfire soon. OPNsense is a confusing mess and while IPfire certainly has its issues, at least it is easy to understand and it does what it is supposed to.

For now you can use XMPP with the Slidge Signal gateway. At some point there will be an issue with Signal due to their centralized servers in the US and then you will be happy to not depend on it so much.

XMPP server (Prosody) that can also act as a Unified Push distributor.

Threema sadly blocks api access behind a paywall and community interest isn’t high enough to have resulted in a workaround using the regular client access.

As for the main request, it is probably a bad idea to move to messengers as the primary communication tool. I would rather suggest to look into a tool like Loomio that has nice notification options to link the decision making process to various chat apps.

That you think Gajim looks like it was build in 2001 tells me you haven’t used XMPP in quite a while 😅

The Signal foundation also controls the ends, as they control the official clients and can push encryption breaking updates to end user devices; in cooperation with Google/Apple even to selected devices of individual people which makes this nearly impossible to detect.

Well, I think XMPP or Snikket is worth a try and definitely more reliable than Matrix, but you might also want to look at DeltaChat.

Mumble is nice, but it hasn’t changed much since the time people explicitly moved away from it to Discord, so why would they go back it it now?

Yes, but it isn’t a Discord replacement, but rather a WhatsApp replacement.

https://movim.eu/ is xmpp based and might be more suitable as a Discord replacement, but to be honest it isn’t quite there yet if you are looking mainly for a voice chat app.

Me opens link expecting vibe-coded slop… and indeed it seems to be vibe-coded slop 🤷

Extremely annoyed at users that think everyone has iOS phones, when most of the world have Android. Thinking that the US is the only relevant place means you have serious tunnel vision. /s

Oh and blame Apple. They are extremely hostile to open-source devs publishing apps on their platform.

Probably a bad idea to congest the limited bandwidth of Tor with voice chat.

But you do realize that DeltaChat also received a quite significant amount of money from the US Open Technology Fund over its course of development and to this day it is somewhat unclear how they fund what seems to be several full time developers?

The app itself might be fine, but you are either using the Mozilla services or the backend written by Mozilla. Sadly Mozilla has lost all the good will it had and is just another silicon valley AI company these days, and seems to prefer it that way.

That’s from Mozilla, another AI company…

The first three on this list can do it: https://joinjabber.org/docs/apps/android/

If you use ntfy mainly as a Unified Push distributor on Android, then I highly recommend switching to a XMPP client that can do the same.

https://github.com/lldap/lldap is much simpler.

I recommend Forgejo over Gitea, and you definitely need an AI scraper blocker like Anubis in front of it as otherwise they will kill your VPS rather quickly, as these AI scrapers absolutely love to scrape code forges.

This seems like something that would really benefit from better language support. I saw the translations folder in the repo, but you should probably get it linked up to a Weblate instance or similar and have people start contribute different languages asap.
