Okay, this one might not go so well with people but this is a draft I've been sitting on since May.
Here is my opinions about the current going alternatives to Discord, especially #Matrix and #XMPP. We need to talk about this rather now than soon.

There's no good IM - Open IM is failing

This blog is pretty opinionated but this one tops it all.

in reply to Regalia :neodog_science: • • •To briefly answer your question on what’s the deal with the #XMPP mailing lists. Most discussion happens (sort of unsurprisingly 😉) on XMPP.
Developer discussions happen here: xmpp:jdev@muc.xmpp.org?join
on sys admin stuff here: xmpp:operators@muc.xmpp.org?jo… or in the channels for the specific server software.
Just the slower paced standards discussions (for which we also want a more permanent record) happens on a mailing list.
Nicoco reshared this.
