That link is dead, but I think this was some vibe-coded weekend project or so?
I am also doubtful many Discord users will stick to XMPP or Movim in it’s current state, but most will probably stay with Discord after all and not switch anywhere.
Looks like it’s back up now. According to the dev in a long blog post on it, they’d been working on it in their spare time for the past 5 years, but do admit to some limited AI use recently.
Seems somewhat more substancial than I thought at first when someone pointed out the HN post to me. Lets see what comes out of it, but network effects are the main reason people stick to Discord.
