We do not have a specific category for OS that dos not fit into Linux, Mac, Unix or Windows, so I posted it in here because I think that could be more interesting for Linux user.
What’s the recommended alternative? As I’ve said before on someone’s post on this topic, the reality is a lot of the audience this person is likely trying to reach already has discord installed. I am all for using OSS but the desire to reach the masses makes I difficult.
What should people be using?
Matrix or IRC are popular. Can also be XMPP or any other open protocol. Bridge to proprietary networks if necessary but a FOSS project should never rely on Discord. https://drewdevault.com/2021/12/28/Dont-use-Discord-for-FOSS.html
Or, some of the largest and most successful FLOSS projects in the world still use mailing lists, and they’re doing fine. Really, anything but a centralized, completely proprietary messaging platform.
People interested in a complete outsider OS are using discord?
My guess is the people interested in this type of project are the ones using IRC and email for everything.
