If you like selfhosting and they like the UX of Discord, look into Haven.
If you don’t want to selfhost now but want to consider it later (with much more complexity than Teamspeak or Haven), look into Fluxer; that also works fine as SaaS (like Discord, but in the EU)
I am not sure what Vicinae is doing in that list … that’s a launcher. What does it have to do with adding global hotkey support? (Besides needing global hotkeys itself.)
I somewhat suspect that fix was vibe coded and the agent took Vicinae as “source for inspiration”. But well, just a guess.
I recommend Haven if your focus (!) is self hosting. Just a single container.
Chatto is also quite interesting (especially architecturally), but I dislike event sourcing without ability to technically prune old stuff. Also it’s closer to Slack than Discord.
I think “no AI” policies are a good thing and the intention is (likely) not literally forbidding AI; they couldn’t in any meaningful way. But the code should have a human attribution and ownership. If the code reeks of LLM, it’s shitty code quality. If people open MRs saying it was written by an agent, they distance themselves from their contribution but expect others to review and integrate it; which is also shitty behavior.
If on the other hand it’s well crafted code that was being thought through and refined, no one should or could care if an LLM was involved.
Isn’t there a smoke detector battery depletion detector? Or you need to regularly do a smoke detector battery smoke test. /s
No, it’s about bits /s
