How is it feature wise? Parity with xmpp/matrix? Better?

Yeah, forums please. I hate the idea of troubleshooting information being locked behind some stupid software we can't easily index and search. Forums can be put on archive.org, you can literally print a page, or save it as a PDF for reviewing later. You can make use of bookmark software like Linkwarden to archive things.
Discord? Not so much. You can use third party software to scrape it and save information, but no search engine can index it. Community building is great, but I loathe having to trawl through tonnes of blithering blathering conversation BS just to figure out where to find firmware for a particular chip I have is.
Makes me want to projectile vomit all over the place, throw my computer out the window, and move to convent.

In that case we could all just use email.

Good riddance. Stop using Nazi platforms and join the fediverse instead.

its not surprising considering the overlap. many linux users are cryptofascists, i.e. luke smith

Better. I'd say its fully on par with Discord, minus the dark patterns. There's a public Zulip instance where you can check it out.

What would be the unlazy, creative, and effective strategy?
BTW, remaining where our community members are is very effective at messaging to the community we need to communicate with...

Ah, that captures such a stark answer to why people use xitter though.
It's not "so I can hear from you" it's "So YoU cAn HeAr FrOm Us!!!11oneone"
Walled gardens? More like prison yard. Lol

Then try out DeltaChat in that case

Zulip sounds neat!
Shoutout to https://revolt.chat/ as a Discord alternative too.

I may sound too radical, but I'd go so far as to support a common Logseq knowledge graph.

It is depressing, but I try not to forget we are seeing a sort of survivorship bias of stupidity on the former Twitter at this point. The cohort of remaining posting accounts is dumber and dumber on average. And this dynamic is magnified in the replies, because they are paid blue accounts at the top. Eg, self-selected losers. (The top account has likely just hidden their checkmark)

Honestly I had the same thought. But on the other hand, internet outrage talking points have also become extremely formulaic...

Thank you! This has always been my main gripe about "collaboration platforms" in general. It's just chat with extra steps, and nothing is easy to find.

Just remove matrix from the alternatives and 100% agree, long live xmpp

This is probably much closer to discord than Zulip is, tbh. I never knew about it previously
