While looking for Discord alternatives I came across this project which looks like a great alternative for the kinds of Discord servers centered around Open Source projects and organizations. Ones where live chat and voice rooms aren’t the focus.

It’s a combination of forums and knowledge base that would be perfect for this use case.

    Some kind of weird WebGL error on their site I’ve never seen before.

    Doesn’t load for me.

    LibreWolf doesn’t seem to be offering to activate canvas.

    Oh well.

        You mean why does the site for a forum software need webgl, by which the only reason I can think of is tracking visitors somehow. It’s not like the background landscape on the site is dynamic or something.

          But, background is dynamic. You can see it has some kind of fancy moving dots. It’s totally unnecessary, but clearly WebGL was used for that.

            Oh, so it is, hadn’t noticed it at first.

            And, sure enough, disabling webgl in about:config causes the page to throw the error, instead of degrading gracefully. An animation of random dots is not at all necessary to expose about a product that is a web forum.
