I actually read about this but totally forgot about it 🤦🏻♂️
Zulip kinda looks like Discord yet seems to focus more on businesses communication/teams. Really interesting.
They’re an open source Slack competitor. Some things are paywalled even for self-hosted instances. It looks like SSO is one of those things, but that’s no big deal. Mobile notifications are also paywalled but we got approved for a Community plan so that restriction is lifted.
I tried to make it as similar to the organization of the wetshaving Discord server. It’s much less bloated than Discord, but as usual for projects like this feature parity isn’t quite there.
There’s more work I can do to bring it up to snuff, too. ShavingInCT has made lots of fun bot type stuff on Discord, like a soap scent guessing game, etc. So far I’ve only managed to install pre-built bots, like a bot that tells dad jokes on command.
Sounds interesting, I had to look up what SSO meant but I also think it’s not that big of a deal (I use ProtonPass for AutoFill + keeping track of my logins).
I guess almost everything is less bloated than Discord. I only still have that app for keeping in touch with former classmates, I seriously hate that UI.
If there’s a mobile app or PWA functionality, I might try out Zulip. There might be some overlap between the times where I am awake with some american “normal” time zones 🤔

Shaved my head before the late shift and forgot to post. Oh well, nobody reads this I guess.
I have been forgetting to post a lot lately. Apparently, it’s not the end of the world 😂
Definitely not, just shows that I was way out of my usual routine of immediately writing a post once I am done with my shave 😅
That’s what happens to me. If I’m distracted right after shaving, I forget to post.
Same here
Hey, there are at least 5 of us! ;)
Fair enough, I just thought it was pretty late and usually no one expects a SOTD post at this time 😅
In ready for an sotd post at all times!
I’m honestly impressed 🤯
There’s even a chat program now that these comments get cross-posted to, further drawing us in. Zulip server

There 4 or 5 us there, just waiting for the day Discord gets shunned by the normals.
