#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!

• It's worse than any #IRC, #Mumble or even the old #TeamSpeak & #Skype for that matter.

• It combines the disadvantages of #Forum, #paywalled #documentation, #chat and #voicechat with 0 redeeming qualities (unlike #Zulip & Mumble & #XMPP+#OMEMO) it's just an #InformationBlackhole!

I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.

• And I'd rather subscribe to the #LKML and see my inbox getting hosed than using any shitty #SaaS!

Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.

I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools

• Public Chat? IRC!
• Group Voicechat? Mumble.
• #Documentation? #mkDocs-material.
• 1:1 Chats? XMPP+OMEMO.
• E2EE Group Chats? #deltaChat.
• E2EE Calls? #WebCall.
• Filehosting? #IPFS, #BitTorrent, oshi.at, etc. ...
• …

Hard to go back to the messiness of #slack / #discord after indulging in #Zulip !

Hello Fediverse! o-o.tools is a new hosted service for software teams. We are striving to pull together the best open source alternatives to the big players (Github, Slack, Trello, Confluence, etc) and have bundled Forgejo, Zulip, Vikunja, and An Otter Wiki into one private integrated service. Check us out:

https://o-o.tools/

Howdy Fediverse - I'm looking for some folks I can discuss running an online community using #zulip instead of #slack or #discord and what their experiences have been. Is anyone around willing to share their experiences so I can help improve the #linux on #riscv community experience?

Any software teams looking for an alternative to GitHub, Slack, Trello, and Confluence? I need beta testers for a new private hosted service that includes Forgejo, Zulip, Vikunja and OtterWiki (git repo, chat, planning, and wiki, respectively), four excellent open source tools, behind a single sign-on.

Reply or message and we’ll set it up

I've been taking a look at Zulip. There's a lot to like about it. I especially appreciate that it's fully open source, and they have a lot of good documentation on self-hosting.

The topic concept makes it feel like a mix between Slack and a forum. Or like email, but you only get emails from select people.

One of the nicest features of the #Zulip chat system is that there's a way to express a date and time in your local time zone and everyone else will see it in their local time zone. Makes agreeing on when to do something easier.

Hey! I am moving #Liblast community towards new chat platform:

Zulip.

So all Liblastians - join in!

I don't want to push people towards Discord or other proprietary platforms with dubious ToS's. Also Rocket.Chat (that we used previously) has become a burden and the company has been paywalling features for self-hosted users like us.

Contrast that with #Zulip that has sponsored us with premium free hosting, because we're a FOSS project :)

The new beta #Zulip mobile client actually may be usable. While I like the concept of Zulip (I didn't get to use it much in practice, certainly not with other people), the mobile client sucked. This one may be more feasible to use.

I already started navigating #Slack primarily with keyboard shortcuts (I think that was mostly Ctrl + k to search all channels) but #Zulip is really pushing this to another level.

"Esc + Esc + Esc + ..." brings you home to a combined feed showing all messages, including direct if configure, that you are subscribed to with a topic on top so that you can associate them with the right context.

You can scroll through them with the up down keys, respond with "r" or jump into the topic with "s"
