Has anyone tried this? It’s discord reverse engineered.

    I set this container up yesterday. Technically it’s running. But all the settings are in the fucking sql db, and I know fuck all about sql other than drop tables is funny meme from xkcd. But also, ignoring the settings, I would like to point out that there is effectively no client. I mean, there are two official ones - the depreciated one, and the alpha one, and the alpha one has a total of 4 releases with the newest being two years ago. How do you deprecate a client when the server is still in alpha? What the fuck? And on all pages it screams ‘this is alpha testing software, do not use as a daily’. Also the docs are, uhh… rough. If rough was falling 4 stories into a bed of poisonous cacti. It took me 3 hours to get the container running properly and finally poking at the db. It’s as organized as my bedroom (‘it’s somewhere in this dresser, I think…’).

    The idea, the potential, is brilliant. Literally everything about getting it working though…

      Lots of great software ideas out there. It’s always the execution, availability of resources, and the reality of capitalism getting in the way.
