  I’ll do it. Then we can have 18 clones.

  As long as they’re federated, does it matter if there’s multiple different softwares? Wouldn’t they be able to communicate with each other, so it’s not like each would be in its own silo?

  Or can matrix only talk with matrix, IRC with IRC, XMPP with XMPP, etc?

  As long as it doesn’t result in silos, I think having multiple choices is a good thing. It gives you options, and can grow in multiple directions to suit different needs. Plus there’s redundancy so no single point of failure. Part of what’s good about open source is that anyone can fork it, right?

    Yes, they have to be the same protocol to communicate.

    Not a word, my dude, the same way happies isn’t a word.

      “happy” isn’t a noun, so no one would try to make it plural.

      “Software” is a noun, but the plural version is often the same, i.e. “installed a lot of software.”

      But since I was discussing “multiple different” instances of software, it made sense to treat each one as a discrete “software,” thus I used “softwares” to communicate “multiple different discrete instances of software.”

      Just like how “people” is plural for “persons” but “peoples” means “multiple groups of people.”

    Ehh I have the most faith in matrix but it definitely isn’t perfect and barely a discord replacement .

      Someone mentioned commet as a discord like matrix client the other day. I’ve trialled it using my matrix setup, and it looks and feels very clean, I definitely prefer it to element. 

      Unfortunately as the tale always goes, it’s not quite on par with element in features (it claims to have RTC support using livekit, but I couldn’t find the group call option), but it’s definitely one of the more interesting clients to come about recently. I really like the separation of spaces and personal chats, and the multiple accounts feature is useful from a sysadmin perspective. 

      Once they manage voice channels with RTC, I think matrix will finally have its discord alternative that could see some adoption with everyday users.

        Which could really do with being fixed.
