Where'd we go though? Which place with the streaming and chatting?

I setup a Haven (Github) self-hosted instance and am slowly dragging friends over as the dev pumps out features. All the important stuff is already available, still more on the way. Also has things like E2E, which I don't care about for my community/server, but it is nice to have.

How the heck have I not heard of this one yet? It already looks promising - I see video, chat, channel organization...

It's one main dev, another doing android, and supporters (I myself have been firing off ideas, suggestions, and issue tickets, and trying to help other users). An electron desktop program is in the works too.

I've been using Matrix for about a decade. Federated, encrypted chats and rooms (optional), supports video, self hostable, fully open source.

I have too. It's... Really not ready for primetime, based on present-day experiences watching rooms lurch into view (and I don't even think it's possible to search for them on Android). Has video at least gotten better?

XMPP with their myriad of gnu-ified clients.

Which client is the multi-platform one with message history and streaming video?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 hours ago

Movim. Though due to how recent it was implemented, you must use a chromium based browser to stream the application's audio too.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 5 points 4 hours ago

Gajim is one. Dino is another (I think). You just need to make sure the client has Jingle compatability (xmpp plugin) for streaming video. A lot let you connect to multiple.xmpp servers

Matrix, can easily do the above.
