@LoudLemur Pleasure, love a good technology rant - vast majority of this industry is lip-service and say one thing, do another.

Mattermost + Element
Do you mean Matrix + Element?
-
@jdaviescoates Probably
-
@marcusquinn did you set up your own signaling? I forgot
I've still got my teeny service available if you need an external signaling server. -
@doodlemania2 Speaking of relays... I filled out the form for Mastodon, and have been eagerly awaiting approval, but my request from https://social.futurnumerique.com/ is still pending. Is there anything else I need to do?
-
@doodlemania2 For Nextcloud Talk? I don't remember needing anything beyond the app as-is, but it's running on a decent spec server, so speed and quality have both been good enough that I'd not thought to need anything else there.
-
My 2 cents: Zulip has a unique approach to organising conversation thread which I find the best, is pretty well designed and easy to get used to for non-techy people. As such it would be a useful app to have and not just a duplicate of others.
-
@avatar1024 +1 generally agree, it has value other apps don't have

It's been quite some time since this request (5 yrs) and we've seen RocketChat go from hopeful to unusable.
A neat feature is setting up public access community chat as read-only w/o needing an account!
Great alternative to Discord.
Anyone open to taking a stab at packaging this?
-
@potemkin_ai Yes, we were in contact with their leadership team.
-
@robi removed them from my trustworthy since they managed to keep MacOS AppStore version, advertised on the landing, out of date for half of the year, after it was reported as an issue on GitHub.
To be more precise, it was a cherry on the cake, the cake was an enormous amount of bugs I've encountered during the usage and for me, that is a sign of malfunctioning engineering culture - you can't fix it anytime soon...
-
@potemkin_ai just to be clear, you're referring to RocketChat with your last comments ? (just checking it's not directed at Zulip)
-
@timconsidine have nothing against Zulip - thanks for checking in!
Nor self-hosting experience with Zulip either... -

New plans for self-hosted Zulip customers - https://blog.zulip.com/2023/12/15/new-plans-for-self-hosted-customers/
I am all in favour of Free Software projects experimenting with ways of finding a viable business solution to fund their endeavours. I wish Zulip success.
