Subject: Awebo - Discord alternative by Loris Cro (VP of community at Zig)
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 22:35:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dfd768e962d33757fd0981dc50cdc955@bbs.copland.systems> (raw)
Loris Cro (VP of community at Zig) and active Zig community members have been getting sick of the direction Discord is moving. They've started building their own lightweight alternative, Awebo.
https://codeberg.org/awebo-chat/awebo
I've been following the development and it's come a long way in a short amount of time.
Interested to hear others' thoughts on this. I'm curious why people don't just move to IRC or XMPP. Perhaps it's because of VC, "channels", or better moderation tools which make communities easier to manage?
