          Actually, IIRC they did some stuff in plain text. Best case scenario they are the same, it’s just that these corsairs work for a different crown.

          Right now, for FOSS projects the best alternative to Discord seems to be Fluxer (or XMPP if you don’t need voice channels). Best alternative to WhatsApp / Telegram looks to be XMPP.

          However, there are more popular alternatives to those, however they come with more privacy concerns.

          Discord/Slack:

          Matrix is more popular among FOSS projects that chose a FOSS messaging platform. Leaks metadata.

          WhatsApp / Telegram

          Signal

          Centralized. Leaks metadata.

    Cool app!

    It’s sad. I am “transitioning” according to the app because my score is at 53% …

    ARTE, ZDF, …, ARD, my bank, train app, are all without open source alternative. Even though all of them are funded with my money

      bro im “transitioning” at 69%, not even joking about the number. but its only 13 proprietary apps that are pretty much not replacable or replacable with a much worse web version. 13 proprietary vs 33 FOSS is not bad imo so im happy :3

      I got 61% but I would say 90% of the apps I actually use are foss, I just have a samsung with a ton of unremovable proprietary apps.
