We need a Federated FOSS Discord alternative built to work with the activity pub protocol.
I'm currently setting up an XMPP server, but I hope something like XMPP but works with activitypub gets made some day.
We don't need a completely decentralized system. Matrix is not efficient, its bloated and overly complicated compared to what you could have. A federated system with minimal overhead would be nice.
This is the reason I went with XMPP over matrix for self hosting a discord alternative.
I just wish we had something like XMPP that interacted with activitypub.
Beans, rice, tofu, lentils, mushrooms, chickpeas, nuts, seeds, many options and they're all cheaper than flesh, and healthier for you and better for the environment.
Choose one of those, and use the extra money to donate towards something that will undermine those capitalist trash.
The amount of ewaste they will be producing when they push that update. Should be against some environmental laws.
