buc.ci is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Beberapa hari kepikiran kenapa gak ada yang bikin alternatif Discord/Slack tapi berbasis XMPP alih-alih bikin protokol sendiri.
Ternyata ada, cuma saya yang gak tahu 😌
Quest to the Fediverse:
What are good Open Source Slack or Discord alternatives?
And what are the features you see as mandatory for a team communication platform?
Here I have to confess that I myself never got the hang of Slack. I always felt overwhelmed. So I feel completely unqualified for judging alternatives 🤪
Es laufen gerade in eine kleinen Gruppe versuche, den Familienchat von #Slack auf ein selbst verwaltetes #Mattermost umzustellen.
Ich finde eine sollte das Wissen.
Stuff like this is so icky to me. Who is "so glad" I'm back? Slackbot? Not possible. Does this make me feel valued or thought about? Not in the slightest.
If you receive a #Slack message from me that says "Happy New Year!" it is because I typed 16 whole-ass letters and hit enter to send it to you. Why would I outsource that?
And if I receive a low-effort, one-click "Happy New Year!" from a colleague do I feel flattered? Like they were thinking of me? No.
I just can't figure out who gets positive vibes from this, so much so that they paid developers to build it.
One of my favorite "security challenges" is the "verify your email" one. By this point my email has been verified so many times it should have top secret clearance.
