Some good news on this FOSS alt to discord. Moving along well but still in beta and testing of Mobile versions. Still nice that the work is pushing along and might not be a spur of the moment fad

What use a new closed of niche… and not something that is inter-operable between servers and providers, such as Movim?

did you actually read the roadmap where there are plans for self-hosting and federation?
Do they use the IETF standard for that or do they just invent something new that is incompatible?
EDIT: Yes, I have read the roadmap and they have no concrete plans, just some vague “later, true federation could”… I don’t give a damn when there are vague product announcements, just show me the product once it is there.
For now the priority is getting the app a stable build across mobile and PC. Once that is done then I suspect they will work on a Federation system.
I seriously hope they don’t invent a new standard.
That’s where bridges come in I believe, something that let’s sites on two different standards to communicate with one another.
Speaking a protocol natively always works far better. Also, bridges generally have the issue that they have to break end to end encryption in order to work.
They are also error prone and more of a workaround than a real solution.
As I said priority one is getting the App to being a stable build. Federation, be it using a protocol that exists or making a new one, is likely something the Debs are leaving for after they have a functioning application
Which is the wrong way round. First you have to think about how you want things to be interoperable, then you build them. They will have a frustrating time and I wouldn’t be suprised if they completely drop it from their roadmap at some point.
