someone on Lemmy made a post recently about an app that checks which apps you have installed are open or closed source. i dont remember where it was posted, but i really want to know what it was called again. after searching online, on lemmy and even through AI i couldnt find it. please if someone knows what im talking about HELP
Still better than Discord, I guess
Actually, IIRC they did some stuff in plain text. Best case scenario they are the same, it’s just that these corsairs work for a different crown.
Right now, for FOSS projects the best alternative to Discord seems to be Fluxer (or XMPP if you don’t need voice channels). Best alternative to WhatsApp / Telegram looks to be XMPP.
However, there are more popular alternatives to those, however they come with more privacy concerns.
Discord/Slack:
Matrix is more popular among FOSS projects that chose a FOSS messaging platform. Leaks metadata.
WhatsApp / Telegram
Signal
Centralized. Leaks metadata.
Why fluxer rather than stoat?
discord doesn’t need phone numbers but forbids 3rd party client implementations. telegram needs phone numbers and mandates their proprietary client for registration.
imo they’re both equally bad lol
