    Why not just use Matrix? I thought it was the goto FOSS and decentralized Discord alternative.

        i cant confirm that. especially in the light of the new sliding sync implemented in elementx. it’s a nightmare for admins but for users it should be fine

      I looked at matrix but the server setup was janky – enamoured of the current mayfly shine tools, and when I saw mumble install cleanly on my tiny arm box it was a sea change. No longer have the tiny arm box but I still run mumble.

      I’d be super happy if it and its polite codecs were brought into the fed but I haven’t been paying attention.
