Can we just use ai generated faces?
A bad move from Discord.
I’m giving Stoat.Chat a go this evening. Looks promising as a self-host alternative.
The verification email won’t show up. I’m stuck.
Was trying to get it set up earlier, but doesn’t look like it has good Linux support yet. I could also be stupid, I never rule that out.
I had missed that it doesn’t have voice support. The closest thing to a relatively simple setup I’ve found is VoceChat. It doesn’t self-host voice, but lets you link in a third party known as Agora, who offers free monthly voice minutes, but they’re still a third party. The setup wasn’t the worst, but definitely took careful reading.
What’s wrong with Steam or Mumble?
Not all of my friends are on Steam and I specifically want something where a client is optional. The only way to convince someone to move away from what they’re already using is to make it as convenient as possible, so I’m looking for something with a web client, mobile app, and desktop client.
It’s coming apparently https://github.com/stoatchat/stoatchat/issues/313
But doesn’t have a client (yet)?
I just set up my own Matrix server. Holy shit that was annoyingly hard.
I’m not even done. I have to set up Element Call for audio/video.
Pretty sure audio calling is also not fully encrypted? And still no game streaming with video or audio, last I checked.
I don’t really mind it not being e2e encrypted, since it’s hosted on my own hardware, but that’s good to know.
I have some discord bots for use with some self-hosted applications (changedetection, etc…). Does Matrix have similar functionality?

I think this may not be the best time for them to do that….
I’m deleting my account the day before they implement this.
Why wait?
That’s a good point. I haven’t actually used it in a while. But, my thought on it was if I do it at that specific time and in the hope that others do the same, it sends a message.
