#2Oh wow - wasn't expecting to see this on HN.
Icewhale is doing a custom dev board - zimaboard - and this is their sideproject as best as I can tell. Think they may have gotten bored halfway through waiting for chip shortage to go away.

#4Always glad to see more entries in the "home server" space. I definitely wouldn't agree there aren't any out there already, but every new one opens up the practice to more people.

I get what you're saying, but since Discord is often used for technical/community support, it probably is a low-friction way for people new to the homeserver stuff to get help and learn more. I know many of my normie friends would never use IRC, even if it was E2E encrypted and kept no logs.

I do this for my open-source self-hosted project. The reality is that Discord provides a good experience, with good controls for a community, in a way that's friendly and easy to access for many. Additionally it saves me the hassle of hosting something.
I don't see it that differently to using GitHub for hosting the code. In terms of privacy at least it's fairly clear to users, wanting to chat, that their data and content will be owned by discord. Users have the choice to enter the chat or not, it's not required to browse the website or use the software.

#7I installed the alternative https://yunohost.org/ and I'm very happy with it, but now I want to try this one!

a decentralized, unlogged, e2ee chat system nobody uses is worse.

My experience with Discord is that I hate to search for past content on it. I had to do it a couple of times because Google / Stackoverflow didn't return anything but burying the solution to a problem in a chat doesn't look good. IRC had the same problem. For some reason Slack is a bit better at it, maybe because I only use Slack for customers' projects so I know what to expect.
