Is async runtime (Tokio) overhead significant for a "real-time" video stream server?
5 projects | /r/rust | 8 Mar 2023

I've been looking at open source video conferencing software options, specifically Jitsi. When reading their deployment docs the phrase "real time" comes up occasionally, for example:
Zoom Video adding advertisements to the free tier of its service

It stops being peer-to-peer as soon as there are more than two participants (i.e more than one destination for the stream). Jitsi uses their Videobridge https://jitsi.org/jitsi-videobridge/ as a central server to do the multiplexing.

Rocket.Chat: Surprising user limit in 6.5.0
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Jan 2024
New plans for self-hosted Zulip customers
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Dec 2023

It's funny because recently there was some drama around Rocket Chat with release 6.5.0. They introduced a new "free" tier in addition to the "community" version where the latter introduced a user limit of 25. During the upgrade to 6.5.0 existing Rocket installations also were switched to the new "free" tier and thus got the new user limit. It was possible to uncheck some boxes to get back to "community" but it caused a lot of confusion among Rocket users/admins.

I'm considering switching from Matrix / Element to rocket.chat for a small instance (< 10 people) I host for my friends. However there is something during the setup process that gives me pause:
Answer honestly: How many of you are gradually moving away from Discord to alternatives and how are you handling it?
2 projects | /r/discordapp | 12 Jun 2023

Depends on what do you exactly mean, but the obvious answers to this question are either: Revolt, Matrix(for instance, Element, etc.), Guilded, etc. I suppose rocket.chat and Slack could be considered as well.
A few discord alternatives for you to look at
