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.

Collabora Office works independent of Nextcloud. It can be nicely integrated into the lightweight https://www.filestash.app/ frontend for example.

I recently ended up replacing OnlyOffice with Collabora Office (Libreoffice based). While architecturally less efficient that OnlyOffice in theory, for my usecase where I rarely check some documents in Filestash it actually ended up using less server resources when idle than OnlyOffice (to my surprise).

UI wise they is no big difference IMHO, but docx etc. compatibility is slightly worse.

This is all part of the secret plot of a sentient AI that has taken over the US and wants to leave the planet asap /s

They (Element / New Vector) got a major early investment in 2018 from Status, a cryptocurrency/web3 company, and later in 2021 an even bigger one in relation to Protocol Labs, who peddle their own cryptocurrency.

XMPP obviously. Have a look at https://joinjabber.org/

This is a fundamental issue of the Matrix protocol, yes. For regular small scale use it doesn’t matter so much, and the state history gets reset every time you do a room upgrade, which is another annoying “feature” of Matrix, but it eases the fundamental problem a bit.

But IMHO the Matrix protocol is a child of the Bitcoin hype era and is built on a similar data-structure that is inherently impossible to scale and the developers of Matrix should have realized that early on. Their bosses back then actually did, but they spun it off as a separate company and got some crypto-currency investments so the can was kicked down the road and here we are…

https://kanboard.org/ is easy to run and works well.
