Strafe Chat Service Pitches Self-Hosting as Discord Alternative
Strafe is a free, open-source chat service positioned as an alternative to Discord. It offers self-hosting, so users can run their own servers and set their own management and operational policy, and it supports end-to-end encryption through the Olm/Megolm scheme. Its developers list community-driven development, no vendor lock-in, and transparent development as guiding points, with source code on GitHub under AGPL-3.0. Desktop apps are provided for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and a developer says an iOS app is in development.
