kamatahvel 🇪🇺🇸🇪🇪🇪

https://infosec.exchange/@kamatahvel

Self-taught software engineer that still has much left to learn. Circuit & code tinkerer, builder of yet-another overengineered solution, LED strip fanatic, father of 2 cats, linguaphile and armchair linguist. LGBTQ+ ally - still learning how to be a better ally while unlearning all the insensitive stuff I picked up growing up in a noninclusive community.

English is my mother tongue but might toot in Estonian on occasion (veaparandused on alati teretulnud). Currently studying Swedish, so might toot something på svenska now & again.

I'm curious about the "Discord clone" bit. Revolt is the only Discord-esque open source option that I'm aware of (though not to say there are no other options available). Is the plan to go with that specifically, or was the spirit of the statement to simply imply that a decision has not yet been made as to what might replace Discord?

Just wanted to specifically call out [@e_mydata](https://mastodon.social/@e_mydata ) as another lovely deGoogled Android alternative. Their installation process was among the easiest in terms of technical skills required (i.e., no command line use required) and having @npub1hn8…g0mt offer the OS preinstalled on phones is, in my opinion, a great way to get the less-technically inclined folks on board.
