Oh, you want a self-hosted, #FOSS, federated, ethical replacement for Discord? Just switch to #Matrix!
Okay. Did that. All my friends are now on my Matrix instance, eagerly awaiting me to set up feature parity with Discord so we can all switch over.
Oh, you want voice and video chat? No problem! You'll just need to set up #LiveKit, an alt-right cryptofash AI bro software project, on your server. Just run their obfuscated installation script as root, it's that easy!
... Excuse me?!
And somehow this is the standard, nobody bats an eye, no clients support the 'legacy' call system and nobody's working on an alternative implementation?
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

@lianna@micro.webgarden.click LMAO really? Tell me you're joking. Haven't done any research on it but I figured it was all open source. But more importantly, what are you playing? I'm in desperate need for new games.
