On: Strafe: A new open-source, E2E Encrypted, and federated alternative to Discord

[zaneyard]

Our community is actively looking for an alternative that we can control. I'd love for an open source, self-hosted clone to pop up that keeps the user experience of Discord, but there is no other. Having a mobile app is a big blocker, and I suspect it will get harder with how Google is locking down the play store.

The mobile app part is where I gave up on the fantasy of reinventing discord myself. A mobile client has become non-negotiable for my groups.

I always wondered if a progressive web app could be good enough, but it appears iOS support is under the "partial" column.

No you absolutely need native for the audio and video on iOS.
