@crowk@critter.cafe Thank you for bringing that up. My main drive behind Discord is just that everyone else uses it so getting a community up and running (which is already an incredibly difficult task) would be the easiest.
If we're going to use an alternative, I would want it to be the easiest to use for everyone, while still allowing some community stuff (I wouldn't use Signal for example, since that only lets you make huge group chats and nothing else AFAIK)
Have you tried https://stoat.chat/? It's the one "Discord alternative" that seems to have refused to use any LLM generated code.
There's also https://fluxer.app/ which I can attest to be quite good, but it does have LLM generated code in it.

@witchgirls@woof.tech i agree on Discord being the easiest. honestly as long as the age gating doesn't interfear it probably is the best bet if you want anything set up this decade haha you have it right on Signal; it's all right for socializing, but nothing like a Discord server or Matrix rooms. last time we tried Stoat it was a few months ago, and they used HCaptcha for signups, so no. haven't tried Fluxor, but probably will eventually anyway just to try it, so that's on the table too. can only speak for us though
