So You Want To Write An Open Source Discord Replacement -
So You Want To Write An Open Source Discord Replacement@0xabad1dea but also of course the BEST thing to DO would be:
- violate UK law by incorporating in the UK as a London resident and offering an instance of your server that doesn't abide to the OSA act by not requiring age checks on user accounts because of course that would be counterproductive, while also lying to your users by claiming your company is based in the EU and it's EU-made software in all marketing blurbs across the entire project websiteunrelated but i really like revolt/stoat/whatever the name is now

So You Want To Write An Open Source Discord Replacement@0xabad1dea things you additionally MUST do:
- advertise it by exclusively mentioning which programming language and software stack was used
- requiring manual compilation for anything other than the linux distro it was made for
- require the user to fill out a yaml config file with gateway and api shards information
- link to your personal git server running some esoteric frontend as the only way to report issues or feedback
- provide only mobile app support for postmarketos
- "run this command in a terminal to install the client"
- make the aforementioned command for windows a powershell script that requires changing execution policy to run but also provide no instruction or forewarning about it
- make voice chat require some fucked codec that isn't fully open source and so "sorry you're gonna have to get that yourself" and then link to a github repo with no releases, no instructions, a bespoke c building pipeline nobody ever heard of and no automated script that fetches any of that on first launch
