For matrix specifically, I recommend fluffy chat on mobile and cinny for web/desktop. Most notably, they both support the not-yet-official spec on custom emojis and stickers, which I think is important for any slack-like.

For the server (since you want to self host), you’d probably want to do Synapse - it supports not being federated as well as SSO. Also it wasn’t mentioned by mp3, but xmpp is another protocol that’s used by many large companies for internal chat systems as well.

Mbin?

I honestly think that philosophy is fine. Before the major social media sites all came about, the Internet was filled with much smaller communities that didn’t need to be profitable or scalable - they could be run by an individual as a hobby project. I think returning to that (possibly with the use of federation so these small communities still have a good amount of content) could keep things free, ad free, and privacy conscious

You’ve set up a false dichotomy. There are reasons to dislike AI besides capitalist propaganda. For example, moral concerns with training on data without explicit approval

Gotcha. In that case I’ve already set that all up in sonarr/radarr directly, using shared docker volumes.

I never heard of those tools, but I have a jellyfin server. By “support” for jellyfin, does that mean it has like a plugin or something to request media from within jellyfin?

Ngl calling nginx a contraction of “popular https server” is kinda wild

I get the appeal, but between the massive community if plugins, and it being self hostable, I think it still gets most (but not all) of the benefits of open source

This looks cool, but I’m not sure there’s any reason to use it over Foundry if you already have a license.
