Nope, but you need SSH, root, and the ability to run long-term processes.

When I get time, I want to perfect a Docker/Kubernetes deployment of it. That can be easily moved between webhosts.

Riot needs a few pieces of server software installed. The Riot client, a Matrix server named Synapse, and an ICE server for audio chat between people behind firewalls.

is it possible to do voice calls over Riot?

that's really the only reason why I use Discord: for the show

Yes, it can.

I really need to play around with it. It looks like it can federate with other Matrix/Riot servers.

Federated you say

More like fedorate

Federation is the only thing censor proof out there short of outright gore and CP. Sometimes also porn.

Federation is partway between centralized services and fully distributed services. Centralized services are easy to build, but easy to censor and provide a central point of failure. Distributed is very difficult to censor and not reliant on any one person, but difficult to implement properly.

Federated is easy to implement, but also difficult to censor unless you can shut down all the individual servers.

bandwidth is usually a big deal when hosting your own stuff

but text and voice like discord would be minimal load

Ignore Cow

I swear Cow is just like 20 spergs with no life

What's Cow?

Oh, that's the board. I never go on 8chan

I went there once and it was remarkably dumb.

Small time e-Celebs really obsess over it. It's like, yeah, you decided to have a presence online, people are going to find an excuse to make fun of you. Who cares?

Just avoiding 8cn is the best idea, specially these days.

Seems like there's been a few shooters who hung out there lately. That's not much different than the old days of /b/ though

I would rather go drink shit beer at a gypsy area than type their url on any of my devices.

I mean, it's the internet and almost anyone can be on anything

It is what it is, but that area of the internet is the current definition of wrong place, wrong time.

I suppose so

I swear to fuck I am going to find out this acid reflux shit is fucking cancer

/cow/ went to shit thanks those spergs who drove away the other 10 into other threads about actual retards.
