I mostly lurk here, and I know we've had this discussion come up a number of times since Discord's age verification changes were announced, but I figured this video offers value for the walkthrough and comparative analysis. Like me, the video authors aren't seasoned self-hosters, and I've still got a lot to learn. Stoat and Fluxer both look appealing to me for my needs, but Stoat seemingly needs self-hosted servers to route through their master server (unless I'm missing something stupid) and I replicated the 404 for Fluxer's self-hosting documentation seen in the video, so it's looking like I'm leaning toward a Matrix server of some kind. Hopefully everyone looking for the Discord exit ramp is closer to finding it after this video.

I've been getting by just fine with a combination of Telegram and Element.

Telegram is not encrypted at all and they use your texts/data to train Elon Musk's AI.

As anyone checked out Sharkord? it looks like a nice option if you don't care about federation and just want a simple setup for your group, but it looks like it is vibe coded partially

Hey on this note, I was looking to do discourse with the mumble plugin but I wanted to do this via docker compose. Has anyone gotten that to work or have a good source they can point me to since at least on the discorse mumble plugin I noticed that it stated that their install instructions were for the stock non-docker solution only.

oh wow this is exactly what I was looking for but with mattermost. Gonna have to give this a try later and I'll see. What are you having trouble installing, the plug-in?

Right now I'm just getting discourse to run via docker compose. I have that up and running finally and got to the splash screen locally but of course it needs a domain so I'm working on that route while my reverse proxy is throwing a fit.

I haven't gotten to the plugin yet but just reading up on the git documentation it sounded like running it in a docker compose isn't officially supported so I was just posting to see if maybe someone had has some experience and could offer up some pointers before I bang my head against a wall this weekend.
