About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Matrix Manifesto We believe:

People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.

Been just using TeamSpeak with a free license for friends. 32 slots with little overhead on a linode from Dallas I'm already paying for.

They just need screenshare capabilities to move over 100% of my friends

Maybe I'm old but I feel like Teamspeak would be the best alternative.

I thought it was called Divolt ?

[–] awesome_person@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

That's completely different. Divolt runs Revolt, which is self-hostable but not federated (aka what happens on your instance stays only on your instance)

Spacebar.chat is very cool, but progress is slow...

https://mattermost.com/ is the closest open source self-hostable alternative to Slack/Discord I'm familiar with

What did Discord do that warrens a mass migration to a federated alternative?
