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

@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.

@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.
