So what is the most Discord- or Slack-like thing that one can self-host for a Hacker Club?

edit: an idea of requirements...

I guess I need it to have an easy web page front end so rank beginners will know how to use it; I'll give up as much fancy functionality as I need to for that.

Also needs to be self-hosted with no surveillance or shitty commercial license or capitalist issues. Again, I will give up as much fancy functionality as I have to.

From there, I'd like to have as much Nice Stuff as possible, groups, spaces for admin, different topics, etc.

Thinking Matrix via a web frontend? Not sure about the licensing/beholdenness of Matrix.

@sheddi @pluralistic @frameworkcomputer @iFixit Meanwhile, if a larger #hackerspace can recruit enough mechanics and electricians (and a couple engineers, if they're not already members) and partner with a suitably equipped garage, there could be a similar market for replacing computerized automotive electronics. Perhaps this would be best paired with an existing #EV retrofit business.

But the appliance retrofitting would have a much lower capital startup cost. Perhaps automotive electronics retrofits could be a sequel to the appliances, seeded with proceeds from those.
