I agree. It seems ironic that Nostr devs keep building Nostr on GitHub (Microsoft's centralized platform) while touting the importance of decentralization, even as our own community creates a decentralized git alternative. There are other options, like Codeberg/Gitea/Forgejo, that are readily available.

Ditto for Discord.

God, I cannot fucking WAIT to watch Discord die. If I knew there was a genuinely viable alternative cooking, I'd be helping work on it TODAY.

I tried Discord and didn't like the mixing of voice and text chat. Or maybe it was just that the user culture was to always use voice chat, which I'm not interested in unless it's the **only** thing I'm doing. It's too distracting for me to multitask.

At any rate, Discord, Slack, GChat, and all those others are in the past for me now. I use Matrix and Jitsi and I'm much happier with then. I find them not only functionally superior, but they also have e2ee, are open source, and the servers are not run by profittering gluttons.

Those are great, but I'm only on Discord for specific communities that are only located there. For an alternative to be viable, it'd need a reasonable chance of attracting those communities, and neither of those has shown much promise of doing that.
