Literally Jeffrey Epstein. He helped push microtransaction.

It’s going to end up decided by whoever gets something good enough for streamers to use professionally first. Maybe XMPP, ive just seen it fail at adoption so many times and matrix seems to be what has the most momentum

This is the most secure option but it isn’t discord. Stable, Post Quantum cryptography and defeating metadata analysis is core to the protocol. But the mobile clients are heavy and can eat battery. It also lacks multiparty voice chat which IMHO is a critical discord feature.

Simplex and Mumble or Jitsi would be close and very secure but not at feature parity.

I am 100% cool with a developer coup. The matrix devs are not serious people.

Yeah matrix needs a refactor or fork. No good drop ins this month.

Simplex already has PQC enabled and makes metadata analysis a nightmare from a protocol level without Tor. Needs more optimization and super peers to fix a group delivery bug but surprisingly stable for something so new.

Matrix seems closer to me. XMPP has been ignored for 20 years. Fluxer might be good in a few months. Simplex is secure and fairly stable now but not a great discord replacement.

It’s 2026. Let it go. It’s not XMPP.

I’m not really religious but that piece of reading has bothered me for years. I’ve yet to spot watchers in sack cloth though

Because it’s him? That would explain all the kids he raped with Epstein and Maxwell. And being friends with Elon Musk.

It’s mostly rust but there’s typescript, js and go too.

And DEAUTH attacks. Because they’re all dumb wifi cameras. You can keep them jammed and destroy them while they can’t upload footage.

DEAUTH for a couple days and shoot the lens with a laser. They’ll never figure it out.

Most of them you can disable with DEAUTHs. Wifi cameras are a stupid concept.

I2P can do torrents. Magnets are easy to host on Tor

Jitsi, simplex, mumble, matrix, lemmy.

IRC still supports most of the FOSS core.

More modern alternatives include Jitsi, Matrix and Simplex. Mumble also works well for voice.

You’re gonna need jitsi too. Simple is more secure but the client is heavier than matrix. You can run a server but shouldnt need to

It’s dead. The development has been as fraught as Tox and it has no feature parity. Not sure it’s worth forking.

Right now your best options are jitsi for video or good old mumble for voice and simplex or matrix for text chat.
