I find myself wanting to have my own online community again. I used to have a Discord server where I posted Minecraft modding stuff, music, and live streams. I miss discord but I won't go back to it, which leaves me with a few options
I'm seriously considering Matrix, which kinda sucks but not that much. If I did I'd probably have to self host it tho, which isn't so bad but my server is suffering lol
The other option is Stoat (previously Revolt). Its a discord clone that's pretty cool. Its not encrypted but it can be self hosted. But I think if I did that people wouldn't want me hosting their info in plaintext
I wish there was a good option 😭 I could use Signal but these days I only give out my Signal account to people I know well, that and it's not organized the same way Discord is. Seriously considering forking Stoat to add e2ee
