Hey y’all,

So I keep having this intrusive though that I SO BADLY want to get my anti slop, anti corporate brainwash friends off of fb and start our own social area (with blow and hookers. Actually forget the blow).

My issues: most of them aren’t tech savvy and my setup would have to be solid with little issues. I never post on fb but I basically would Make 1 post inviting everyone to it.

I have a couple synology nas setups. Neither are open to the internet. I have some spare computers as well that could run the server fine.

I know I could potentially just make a server from one of the public instances of matrix but I don’t trust that and it’d be a nightmare if that one went down or something and we had to move again.

Realistically I’d probably get like 10 people to join me. Just a place for local community to hang out and share events etc.

I keep getting stuck on how exactly to go about it. Like I think I’d need tailscale and docker (still dont get what docker really is). I have used tailscale briefly on mobile and it seems to work. But idk. I would also be fine paying a modest sum a year for some pro to host it if that is smarter…

    After discord started to show their true colors and incompetence I started to look for alternatives. I landed on team speak 6. Very very easy to set up via docker and it’s basically discord at this point.

    I like it.

    But like others have said. If people do not have the most convenient experience they will not use it.

    TS6 can be a little finicky dialing in your mic settings and one guy who is in our community lost his shit because he had to tweak a setting or two every once and a while. We don’t see him much anymore… Oh well.
