Monitisation and funding
Would it be possible to have a table comparing the principal monitisation strategy and the major funding source, behind each service? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elcaba (talk • contribs) 14:00, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- In my opinion: No. That is info that belongs on the page of the packages itself. The Banner talk 15:59, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Snikket
I've found references to snikket here: https://neilzone.co.uk/2023/07/snikket-a-self-contained-xmpp-distribution/ with the official site here: https://snikket.org/
Does it deserve a page and/or belong in the list?

- The standard advice is to write the article first. The Banner talk 13:15, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
GroupMe missing?
Is there a reason that GroupMe is missing from this page? It is a well known instant messenger app and listed in the footer. Wanting to know before going through the trouble to add it.
Discord alternatives
With the recent announcement of Discord's age assessment rules going into effect next month, perhaps it's time to add a few more to this list. Three that are becoming popular right now include Stoat, Root (no Wiki article, so this is their website), and Fluxer (article needs expanding on - also see their website).
I would also suggest Echoed and Strafe, but they are so young and buggy, they may need to mature more before being added; however, that is up to whomever decides to add to this list whether they deserve a mention. TimGreenIsFine (talk) 21:24, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
