Promotional
Im not affiliated to Fermi/Harmony chat in any way, im just a user who liked it and want to share my experience of the app i find worthy of sharing
so i wanted to share a promising project that I have been using for a few months.
made this post to promote and share this platform since it needs more people, theres arent many atm and it deserves way more.
Fermi/Harmony Chat is free and open source discord like guild/community centered chat platform with most of the features that are expected from those platforms like message channels, vocal chats, threads, screensharing and more. Importantly the chat platform has a strict stance against LLMs AIs and AI generated slop like vibe coding and other abusive usage of AI that replaces human work and slop it in the process. sadly fermi/harmony is unique of having a strong stance against AI. (other similar projects sadly uses AI and excuses AI usage and vibe coding)
the platform also allows users to create their own client for the platform. harmony chat is the API and fermi is just the currently only working client on the platform (was a spacebar client previously until harmony was created as a spacebar fork with the goal of fixing the many issues and bugs present on spacebar) and in the future, instances are going to be federated and the process will be managed directly by the client (fermi and other clients) without being tidious and for advanced users like on matrix, so more easy and beginner friendly.
the platform also is more lenient on its acceptable policy and have a no bullshit moderation. (sadly not the case for other alternatives which sucks very much)
IMPORTANT
currently the project in its early stage and still has lots of bugs, glitches and various issues.
it is currently only accessible through a web browser (there is no app neither on desktop or on mobile)
lots of features are not finished and the platform still need major improvements. but i hope it is going to grow and become a viable alternative.
currently there are around 800 people are registered on fermi/harmony chat.
fermi.chat the main website currently (use this one to register) melodychat.org the organisation’s website (its called melody on codeberg and on the website since harmony was taken)

So it seems like this aims to be a drop in replacement for discord, essentially supporting the same API and clients, but with the ability to self host. Is that correct?
its not 1 to 1 to discord but it was made to be compatible with discord. mostly to ease the process of migrating bots and automation, and being able to use discord client to connect to harmony. atm you can self host harmony but theres isnt a functional federation yet as it hasnt be coded yet.
