Perhaps Pixelfed and Loops should migrate from Discord to Discourse 🤔

Or you can make some Smithereen groups, there are discussion boards now

@negschaumburg1 @dansup i also use stoat, you can make your own server

[unattributed@gotosocial.social]

@dansup Well, I might think Matrix would be a better option -- especially as it is getting a lot of attention in the sovereign software communities now.

[mrfunkedude@mastodon.social]

@dansup Matrix?

[chuff@bark.wolp.chat]

Delta Chat?

@incentive @dansup #Discourse has a passable iOS client, though. There's #Tapatalk for #NodeBB (I believe), but I'm not sure you'll want that in this day and age.

[nullware@mastodon.social]

@negschaumburg1 This is what I thought of too when I saw the news. It's development is incredibly slow, though.

[wheeze_nl@hsnl.social]

@dansup irc?

[oliviavespera@spacey.space]

@dansup I agree with this. Forum solution may be better than IM. if you set one up, i would join.

@OliviaVespera @dansup
XMPP is a good protocol, you have several servers and clients.
For a forum, I very like Flarum. It's FOSS, working with php. Looks like Discourse, easy to manage and have many good plugins.
The community is great too.
If you want make a quick test you can install it with #Yunohost , same for Discourse.

Zulip seems to be an option.

[kielkontrovers@norden.social]

@joergi @dansup i second that

[chrisjournoud@lou.lt]

@dansup discord cannot go wrong since they use rust

@mbirth@social.mbirth.uk NodeBB doesn’t work with Tapatalk, you install the website directly as an app to your home screen and can enable push notifications through that as well.

@dansup@mastodon.social If you’re serious about it, let’s make it happen. Happy to provide discounted hosting for Pixelfed and Loops on our infra and we can take care of everything.

Caveat: it’s gotta federate <img class=“not-responsive emoji” src=“https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f609.png?v=3733abc7e3d” title=“” />

DM me whenever you’re ready.
