    Not I but I never liked discord and don’t really use chat much. Honestly outside of the forums im not sure I want to make more accounts which is how come I don’t use peertube much. Well that and it would kinda need an app as I mostly watch youtube on android devices.

        In my opinion, xmpp kinda fits perfectly? It was used in multiple platforms before (google, facebook, Gaia online, and gosh the list goes on, every platform 2005-2013???)

        Why wouldn’t it be a decent solution for the fediverse software to pair with it, just like other networks did before?? Fediverse accounts already have the schema (user)@(domain.tld)

        I understand Matrix needs more storage than xmpp, but I think either one could work.

          One nice thing about XMPP is that it can theoretically use transports to connect to everything and then some.

          I have seen a Matrix/ActivityPub bridge in action, though.

    If the author’s profile is any indication, it’s likely Harmony was written using AI:

            It means the project may be vibe coded (LLM generated with little to no verification of what the output is); meaning it’s a lot more likely to contain security vulnerabilities and privacy concerns.

            And that’s ignoring the ethical concerns of using AI in addition to the lifespan of the project (vibe coded software often isn’t maintained very long).

              But nowadays it’s more secure to use Claude to check for those vulnerabilities. The main downside is you don’t know how your project works/structured so you have no clear vision of the whole picture and future plans.

      Not just that but the dev couldn’t even be bothered to write their own bio, what are the chances they took the time to look over a single line of code or test anything at all?

          They already have that too, screen sharing included. Most clients work with it just fine.

            Please correct me but, isn’t matrix.org, the worse option, because of all the traffic? Calls didn’t work reliably in said server, but I got to do a few streams with friends and it was working fine with not much latency, but we were both in another homeserver.

            I’d like to try gaming tho.

    Oh that’s me! :D Yes. @ruud@lemmy.world made me aware of it. It’s brilliant. I’ve been loving it for the last day and I’m blown away. There’s no AI declaration, but this is a mountain of work for one person has done. So I honestly have my questions.

    However, it honestly doesn’t matter to me. If it’s free code created from an open weight model that will exist without this project, then we need to be questioning how we stand on this.

    Does LLM generated code matter when you get to self host it, it’s free software. And I’m honestly at the point where, I say use their weapon against Big Tech. This isn’t replacing anyone. This wouldn’t exist without it. It’s had commits over the last few years. I think it’ll depend on maintenance, but this can always be forked and should be if maintenance doesn’t work. Because I think this is incredible. The least we can do is learn from it.

    https://mony.world/ exists, hosted by us, if you want to play with it. (I wasn’t involved in the setup, so can’t answer much about it)

    As someone not fond of Discord, it seems pretty decent and pretty Discord-like.
