It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

Discord. And no, Matrix/Element isn’t an alternative.

Matrix/Element isn’t an alternative.

Why not?

And, what about Revolt?

It’s missing voice channels.

I didn’t know about Revolt. It sounds awesome and does indeed look like a Discord clone, but while you can self host it, instances can’t communicate with each other. The devs of Revolt actually recommend NOT to self host.

Signed up for Revolt, but still waiting for the email confirmation…
