  • So You Want To Write An Open Source Discord Replacement
    PhilI Phil

    @scunneen @krapp @0xabad1dea
    Have an interest and desire to join a community somewhere for that interest.

    With the discovery functionality such as that from matrix and discord I found:
    - Angular Discord Server
    - React Discord Server
    - Nim Discord Server
    - "Shape of Dreams" Discord Server (Gaming)
    - Nim Matrix channel
    - GTK Matrix channel
    - Accessibility Matrix Channels

    etc.

    These do actually have a fairly valid usecase.

    @scunneen @krapp @0xabad1dea As someone that does use discord I'd say private chats make up about ~20-30% of my usage, the rest being VC and group chats. So I'd agree it's not the *main* use-case, just that it's also *a* major usecase.

    Another thing that might get lost would be server discovery.
    A client could still work if "add server" means pasting in a server-URL somewhere, you could even "mitigate" it by hard-coding the major server instances, it just adds a limitation to be aware of.

    @scunneen @krapp @0xabad1dea So basically - The servers are fine if they do not communicate, the clients just need to be capable of swapping between server instances? Overall sounds like it could work.

    That *does* open up a weird UX setup though that the DMs between User A and User B are bound to a specific server.
    So suddenly you can have *multiple* DM conversations with the same User as long as you both share multiple servers.
