XMPP can actually do everything, chat, group video calls, and even screen sharing with the Movim client. It's a one-stop shop.

Oh, that looks pretty nice, thanks for the recommendation.

I'll have to throw up an XMPP setup and give it a shot. It looks like they have a podman container setup available: https://github.com/movim/movim

Can it do drop in/drop out VoIP rooms like mumble?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Not yet, unfortunately. It can currently do a group conference audio/video call, but there are no rooms where you can see who's in the call and just hop in. That is a planned feature in the future, though. Probably after Discord-like rooms are implemented (which won a recent feature poll).

I have seen the conversation around ditching discord come up a few times, but this more recent one was the first time seeing Movim and it seems to have more folks post about it. Is it newer then revolt, rocket, etc?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Older, actually. Its been around since 2010, and is built upon the XMPP protocol, which is from 1999.

Movim has only recently taken the direction of becoming a Discord replacement.

That makes sense. Thanks for the heads up!

You come off very unbecoming in that thread. Strange you advertise it.

I'm technically correct, and at least I'm not spreading disinformation 😘
