So You Want To Write An Open Source Discord Replacement

[janamarie@mystical.garden]

@0xabad1dea I think a huge part of the last point is the room and privilege management, allowing you to somewhat properly moderate your server. The ability to create thematic rooms is, I think, what drives many people to matrix, even in smaller communities it can be super helpful to have different thematic areas on the same server. A feature that I learned to value a lot

@0xabad1dea federation is extremely useful though here.

@ljrk@todon.eu @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange then you probably shouldnt be the one to develop a discord replacement

@0xabad1dea Dear user, please download our program and then use this Terminal command to bypass system security feature

[froge@social.glitched.systems]

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange discord has multiparty end to end encryption so you do actually need this for voice and video data

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea @isis yeah, that tends to happen when properly using the system security features require an annual ransom

@0xabad1dea (I realise I'm muted here, but I think some of those negative points are significant)
- No federation: some bastard can come along and buy it. Doesn't matter if I can run my own if everyone else is on the Nazi Server. Federation is not proof against this (see email) but it's a necessary start.
- No multiparty e2e encryption: we don't care about black or gay or trans people being allowed to talk without everything they say being fed into the secret police machine. They, however, do.

@0xabad1dea

Thank you.

[enejjohhem@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea End to end encryption would be a really cool bonus

[isotopp@infosec.exchange]

@enejjohhem @0xabad1dea No.
