2. Matrix is viable. There are https://view.matrix.org and soon https://archive.matrix.org/ for indexing by crawlers
3. https://servers.joinmatrix.org/ isn't quite the same as https://discord.com/servers. Joinmatrix lists matrix home servers, like gmail, hotmail, yahoo, ... for email. But once you have an account on a home server, you can use the "explore" feature to browse rooms known to that server (or another that has public room directory). There is not central place to list all, since there is not single central matrix server. Same with lemmy. You need to use https://lemmyverse.net/communities

cryptpad si quite good

Only posts? I like tags in slashdot/slashcode for moderation.

Gandi is no longer a good choice

Thanks to sliding sync this is very snappy compared to old element.

Element X is built on the rust SDK which should support multiple accounts. https://github.com/vector-im/element-meta/discussions/1832

I see. I'm an old fart and couldn't care less about gifs. But I do care about stuff being open instead of someone suddenly telling me the conditions have changed.

cryptpad.fr is a decent alternative

what about an actually free alternative, like matrix + element?

I've read some old DOS manual. And several Linux books back from the days when Linux came on CDs alongside books.

There are different kinds of documentation https://diataxis.fr/

Cryptpad is a decent google workspace alternative. Nextcloud is a popular one, but I've always had some problems with it.

not open source, but source available

HP Microserver + openmediavault or similar.

Put a superlinear tax on car size / weight. Big cars must be much more expensive than small ones. https://slate.com/business/2023/01/electric-cars-hummer-ev-tax-fees-weight-joe-biden.html

Yeah, forgot the interrobang. But really, air travel is a problem. It needs to be minimized. Not increased. Especially not increased in amount of greenhouse gas emissions per distance flown per person
