I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

    Does it have easy gif embedding like discord? I tried another chat app and it felt so stripped down without gifs or emojis

    be warned that continuwuity phones home by default to fetch its news and feed it to the admin, you may want to turn that off before booting first time

      phones home by default to fetch its news and feed it to the admin

      What is that and why is it bad?

      you may want to turn that off before booting first time

      How do you do that?

        I assume they’re referring to the announcement check, configurable via an option in your config file. It’s what we use to make sure everyone knows about important things like security updates.

        Edit: Lemmy keeps breaking the link, it’s under allow_announcements_check

          BREAKING - Release 0.1 of DON’T is now available - DON’T does absolutely nothing when you start it, except to present an enormous Consent List of everything it can do if you let it. Outraged digital freedom advocates are criticizing what they call excessive download times, sluggish support, and that the app takes up memory space without doing anything.

          while i don’t want to throw shade on the developers’ intentions, nor have any real proof of what data is being kept, a fetch request bears by minimum the source ip (which can be geolocated) and the fact that the homeserver exists and runs continuwuity.

          i’d suggest a matrix channel as alternative, so hosters can opt-in by joining. plus, by leveraging the matrix protocol, such announcements become federated push notifications, meaning they could come from any homeserver (limiting ip logging) and don’t imply the continued existence of such deployment, or the software which is being run

          even converting such mechanism to an opt-out “auto-join announcements channel” would be more privacy respecting

    I’m planning on trying to self-host it on OpenBSD ngl. I do wonder. Does continuwuity support multiple independent domains on a single instance like Ejabberd does?

    We really want to use Matrix so bad, but none of them have every feature we need to replace discord atm.

      It’s not really designed to be a Discord replacement. It’s a messaging app/protocol that can do voice/video calls. Discord is a passive state voice / video / text channel app that was designed to create spaces for different topics. Matrix has added a similar hierarchical feature as an option, but its not the same and I don’t think it was meant to be.

        We mean, overall we need something to text (plus send files), call, video/screen share and bonus for emojis, stickers and gifs. We get that discord and matrix isn’t really the same thing but the end result and use case is :/ So it would be a replacement for us

          overall we need something to text

          pretty much Matrix’s entire point

          (plus send files)

          also implemented in pretty much every server and client; I think even Element can send files

          call

          look into e.g. #matrixrtc:continuwuity.org — sable requires a setting to show the call button in non-DM rooms

          video/screen share

          unfortunately this is the only thing I’m not confident is supported

          bonus for emojis, stickers

          should be available with any im.ponies-compatible client such as sable

      I don’t understand why people need SSO.

      Every place I’ve every worked that had SSO had an outage, and then nobody could log in to anything.

      SSO moar leik single point of failure amirite?

    somebody: makes anything
    lemmy: we hate this

    I love how the culture of the fediverse is consistent. it hates everything, everywhere, all at once, and all of the time.

    I tried to get my friends off of reddit on it and that’s what they always commented about, so they’ll never join.

    I use the continuwuity server. Thank you to the devs for all of the hard work!

    Why do useful FOSS things always have the worst names that make it hard to spread.

      Lots of folks also like the unmarketable names, because you know that it’s not a corporate project. You’re hearing about it, because it’s actually good, and not just because some startup got VC money to do marketing.

      Heck, the reverse is true as well. This project is better specifically because it has that name. You just know some transfemmes are tirelessly hacking away at it, because they enjoy the silly name.

      Well, it startend with conduit. That was a respectable name. The development slowed down and someone wasnt happy abput not getting pr merged. Then it got forked to conduwuit.

      Speed picked back up. There was later a massive meltdown for some reason. To successors emerged continuwuity and tuwunel.

        There’s almost always a backstory for why the makers choose the name they did, but that doesn’t change the harmful result. A bad name seriously limits how much the software will ever get adopted. Heck, if there was a FOSS project i cared about enough then i would fork it and keep everything the same except give it a more palatable name.
