@movim@piaille.fr ah, i didn't realize i was talking to someone who is actually making software lol well yeah, a team of... one, would limit scope quite a bit, and i can only understand why though that said a lot of chat alternatives have teams of hundreds, who blatantly ignore these things in favor of... well, i don't even know what they do in their spare time other than break things lmfao that said i'll vote for spaces, since that's the most essential component that nobody else gets right

@EeveeEuphoria@social.translunar.academy @movim@piaille.fr yeah I agree with spaces being the most critical one. that's the main defining feature that makes discord particularly different from other chat apps. it scales really well to large communities. if I didn't want that and just wanted small group chats with friends. I would use Signal. it does most of the other stuff pretty okay. (plus it's secure and has good E2EE. but that's not a requirement for a discord alternative) but without the other stuff (video calls in audio rooms), you're still not really a viable discord alternative. again, yeah, all three are really quite important actually. seriously. don't underestimate them if you want to be a viable discord alternative. I have no good suggestion on how to achieve it all with a team of one. i know it's daunting.
