Gregory's Server
Well that's #annoying
#opensource chat server Rocket Chat decided to make their latest upgrade plain abusive. If you run your own, you are now *required* to enrole in a trial of their premium proprietary nonsense and it's likely the server is spying on it's admins and users.
*great*
Looks like #inkscape is going to have to move chat systems. There's just no way to regain trust in an upstream that is abusive. Not without forking away from the abusers.
@doctormo one of my group uses Rocket OSS, do you have a source i can share with the admins?
@doctormo
Sad to hear, but thanks for the info. I was going to start reviewing my options for self-hosting chat servers & they were on the list.
Emphasis on "were"...
#Linux
#FOSS
#SelfHosted
@doctormo I never liked Rocket Chat exactly because it felt like something like this would happen. I'm glad my feelings got confirmed, sorry for the inconvenience on your side, though. 😩
Fortunately there is matrix.
