I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

The project is the "official community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver". Conduwuit was a popular matrix backend until the project was archived.

Although interestingly, conduwuit says the official continuation is Tuwunel. interesting

I've been using Tuwunnel since Conduwuit ceased developpment and I haven't been able to find a reason to switch to Continuwuity yet.

Maybe this one should be named altuwunative.

It is primarily sponsored by the government of Switzerland 🇨🇭 where it is currently deployed for citizens.

Now this, I like!

Github, not so much

I find it hilarious that a government is sponsoring something with "UwU" in the name.

That is slightly misleading, they are/were sponsored by epost.ch / Swiss Post AG, which is a limited company.

Could you explain to us why you would recommend your project over tuwunel.

[–] JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I avoid getting involved in these discussions, but previously on lemmy

[–] kiol@discuss.online 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay, I don't know the history. It is unfortunate to not have project differences spelled out, because the truth is most of us know nothing about these things. Sounds like a no, but would it be possible for the projects to collaborate?

Considering the most recent is their lead developer getting banned from all Matrix Foundation rooms for CoC violations, the answer there is still no.
