I did find out recently that the team behind the Element Matrix client made Element Call and integrated it into their apps recently, but I've never used it personally. Have you used it? How was it?
They definitely got the Discord aesthetic down. Unfortunately, it seems to be both self-hostable and unfederated, which means that the userbase is going to be split up between a bunch of small and quiet instances with no convenient way to interact with the larger ecosystem. Their FAQ suggests that while it's not in the roadmap currently, they're still open to the idea, so maybe we should let them know that this would be a desirable thing.

Oh? When did they change that?
And so the hell-loop continues. Matrix seems like the closest successor, but having used it for awhile I would describe the experience as janky-but-workable. Signal's good, but requires a phone number. I hear that Mumble's good, but it's overly focused on VoIP. Hopefully the alternatives polish themselves up before the enshittification gets too bad.
I use what's packaged in my distro's repositories, unless I need a specific version, or the software isn't packaged at all.
Ah, whoops. I block JS and didn't notice that. Here's an archive. I did a quick search and didn't see any articles that mention what kind of visas they have.
Glad that you enjoyed it! 🦊
Ah yeah, I remember reading that post awhile ago. I was quite surprised to find out how old Friendica is (first release in 2010); if that doesn't demonstrate longevity, then I dunno what does.
Federated social media has been around for a long time; the oldest one that I know of was identi.ca from the late 2000s. ActivityPub platforms like Mastodon have since breathed a lot of life into the federated ecosystem and I'm excited to see what the future holds for it.
I support banning non-therapeutic infant circumcision. I also recommend non-surgical foreskin restoration to anyone curious about greener pastures.
Nice to see that it went well.

Hm, hopefully Discord takes awhile to enshittify. Sounds like the current solutions need time to polish up.
