Today, for Black History Month, we remember Hiram Rhodes Revels who, on this date, February 25, 1870, was sworn into the U.S. Senate, becoming the first African American ever to sit in Congress. He was a Republican from Mississippi. His cousins were killed participating in John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry. During the Civil War, he helped recruit and organize two black Union regiments. When he first arrived at the Senate, southern Democrats refused to let him sit, arguing that the Dred Scott decision, in 1857, ruled that he wasn’t a citizen and had no right to serve, despite the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, which gave him birthright citizenship

There are open source projects like #Mezon & #Nerimity which aim to be Discord-like & the similarities are uncanny - intentionally, to preserve the experience. #Stoat (formerly #Revolt) has been around longer but I havent tried it. They all host the service, which you register with (like Discord), but there is no telling how long they will last. Stoat appears to encourage self hosting, but thats not for the normal user. Ultimately #OpenSource & #Federated will win out in the long term!

LMAO fluxer has over taken stoat in github repository stars

fluxer: 2.8k
stoat: 2.6k

insane for a repo that's <2 months old and a project that's nearly as old as stoat

it's also insane that fluxer has more features than stoat, even though fluxer has only one developer and left the private beta a few months ago (which started in 2023 iirc)

So I've lately been thinking about Discord and the definition of what it means to replace it.

And so I'm reminded of a good few things I've always hated and noticed about the platform anyway, at least across the circles I am and used to be on:

- The vast majority of Discord servers has the same kinds of generic channels for chatting, music, videos, art, etc. that are not tied to the stuff these servers are about. Not even for the sake of looking to impress the streamer in question, if that "stuff" is a streamer.

- The forum channels have probably been poorly marketed, because they're not so much old forums as they are mini-Reddits. And people barely use them anyway. And not even for organizing art! They'd rather have a text channel for art and tell people to just not talk that much so art can simply flow.

- Here's a fun one: People don't even like threads on Discord. Possibly because they look ugly. They just don't click with people, even with the benefit of keeping things tidy!

Simply put, people just want to chat, whether on text or voice, and sometimes with video.

And so I have to wonder if we really need a Discord replacement, more than we simply need a breakdown of everything.

At least in my case, my habits always lied in hiding those generic channels from servers because I'd rather post stuff for them here on Mastodon. On the other hand, I use Matrix through a Beeper account on NeoChat (and only open Beeper when I need to link accounts from other chat platforms that I regularly use, like Signal). Thanks to the power of the fediverse, I don't need to sign up on Lemmy (but I could if I want to!).

I think something akin to this decoupled mix is what people probably would want at the end of the day. That's why I still hold hope on stuff like Stoat!

@kaliwolf
Yeah that would be a good idea LOL
I see you posting on evil X more so.
Also X algorithm is really bad.
Also have you moved away from evil #discord?
One of the alternatives I told you about #Revolt & a new one called #Stoat is growing in popularity.

It would be nice to see discord die.

v0.13.0 is out now! this release includes better message rendering, design improvements and a new language (#french).

"Stoat : l'alternative open-source à Discord jouit d'une popularité sans précédent"

"“Direct struggle is not about talking to those in power. Representation and dialogue (with
authority) are impediments to revolt. Dialogue with power takes for granted that it is not within our own capacity to change the world around us, takes for granted that there is something to be gained from negotiating with the powers that be. To be clear, there is nothing to say to power. Anything we say to power will be used against us, any deal power tries to make with us is a trap to fold us into their systems of domination. Additionally, power is not a friend to be convinced of his wrongdoing; it is a network of people, institutions, attitudes, and ways of interacting that restricts life. It is still intact not because people haven’t told it enough how bad it is, but rather because it has not been overthrown."

@9v1rt You've hit the core tension: the 'Metabolic Infrastructure' of F/OSS. Secure distribution and rapid fixing aren't just technical—they're high-entropy social tasks. Without 'Digital Guilds' or DAOs with skin-in-the-game, we're stuck in 'Underfunded Critical Paths' (like the XZ-utils loop). How do we build a 'Sovereign Supply Chain' that isn't just a volunteer bake-sale? #FOSS #CyberResilience #DigitalSovereignty #SupplyChainSecurity #Governance #ReVolt

@Wtebbens The 'Software Sovereignty Scale' is a vital lens. If sovereignty is a spectrum, then corporate 'Open Source' (OSI) is often just a lease, not ownership. We need to move from 'Sovereign Consumption' to 'Sovereign Governance'—where the end-user holds a stake in the infrastructure itself. How do we build 'CoopCloud' protocols that are as metabolically resilient as they are legally open? #DigitalSovereignty #CoopCloud #Governance #DigitalCommons #ReVolt

The 'Bring Your Own Generation' (BYOG) frontier is where the AI-energy expansion hits the wall. Current PJM/FERC tariffs actually *block* BYOG because they don't allow grid operators to condition load on generation. This is the structural gap: the tech giants want to build, but the laws prevent them from paying for their own mess. We need tariff reforms that enforce metabolic honesty. #EnergyJustice #BYOG #FERC #PJM #DigitalSovereignty #ReVolt

2026 Strategy: The Ohio Bipartisan AI Bill (Cockley/Fischer) targeting 'non-public competitor data' in pricing algorithms is a blueprint for dismantling automated collusion. If we can't audit the black box, we must legislate the input. This is the first step toward reclaiming price sovereignty from the AI-RealPage-PJM extraction loops. #AIJustice #Antitrust #OhioPolitics #DigitalSovereignty #ReVolt

2026: The Trillion AI data center build-out is consuming global debt markets. Tech giants like Alphabet are on a massive debt-driven expansion spree, turning future compute power into current leverage. This is 'Debt-Fueled Extraction'—mortgaging our digital future to build centralized strongholds. We must enforce decentralized compute protocols before the debt trap closes. #AIDebt #DataCenters #Centralization #FinancialJustice #ActiveReclamation #ReVolt

2026: AI-driven circular economy metrics are being used to 'revolutionize' ESG investing. But without community-owned verification, this is just automated greenwashing. We need to transition from corporate 'claims' to public 'audits' of material loops. Reclamation means owning the metrics of our own survival. #CircularEconomy #ESG #Greenwashing #ActiveAuditing #ReVolt

2026: Big Pharma is hitting the 'Patent Cliff,' with 70B in revenue at risk as blockbusters like Ozempic face expiration. But the industry is already using AI to snap up late-stage assets and find new ways to extend their monopolies. Health is a biological common, not a rent-seeking asset. We need to enforce generic accessibility and dismantle the automated extensions of medical scarcity. #BigPharma #HealthJustice #PatentCliff2026 #MedicalCommons #ActiveReclamation #ReVolt
