Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Has anyone tried this? It's discord reverse engineered.

Interesting, seems like this has been around for a while but I haven't heard of it until now. With how much Discord's shitting the fan and becoming (well, always has been) a privacy nightmare, this seems worth a try. The alternatives out there either need time to mature (Stoat) or don't really fill the same role (Matrix).

shitting the fan

Huh, like a more disastrous and direct combo-approach. I like it.

Spacebar was called Fosscord before. Maybe you have heard of that.

Never heard of it either. Will check out cuz initially sounded like some vibecode app to quickly replace Discord since the news.

It's been around a few years. I investigated it last year. It had a name change some times ago.

I can't vouch for the code quality, but it's too old to be slop.
