It really is time to start a push to move open communities to open source software. Running a whole bunch of open communities out of slack and discord has always surprised me. Slack is particularly bad with making anything longer than 10k messages inaccessible. The amount of internet history being lost in these groups is boggling.
What are the good open source alternatives out there? DuckDuckGo'd a few ones. But not convincing ones.
I disagree with the closure. They should fight Discord to provide an open source alternative client for a closed system who is attempting to trap their users.
Fucking hell, I'm using finch to handle discord notifications on my pinephone from my girlfriend. If discord starts enforcing the no 3rd party client thing I'm dumping it.
finch?
Discord bots, on multiple occassions, have DM'd me child pornography with invite links to related servers. I have no idea how these bots have found me or why they are allowed to message me, and so far any attempt to make Discord answer me about them has failed. This earned yet another twitter DM to them telling them they fucked up. They benefit directly from the open source community so this is a huge "fuck you" to e…
There is also a setting for discord "scanning" your messages for bad content, maybe that's something you're looking for.
Can't we implement an opensourced sever with the same api and let cordless be the client to the opensourced server? Or the Api is also copyright?

The UI is not the most modern but the software is productive and friendly for a chat application, particularly when you look for an old information burried in the history.

If you’re an owner of a slack instance, you can export all of the history without paying.
Export to what? Can I import it into Matrix? I assumed all these SaaSS products are built like carnivorous plants - The spikes only point in. I tried the data export from Asana once and it was useless.

I don't think you can infer that all SAAS platforms lock your data because you had a failed attempt with another such tool once.
