Out of curiosity rather than necessity, are there any activitypub based messaging apps (i.e matrix/discord-like)?

One not listed is Ibis (https://ibis.wiki/) which hasn't had much traction. Honestly unsure of how useful it is as a direct wikipedia replacement but i can see it as a cool idea for a bunch of related communities that would otherwise be on separate wikis.

I've just moved to Thunderbird. I was never keen on the old design and found it rather clunky but the new UI I find much better.

I was using Mailspring but it has recently just refused to work on my device and I never even got a response on the community forums so I've just given up on it.

Pulsar is the current maintained fork of that project, we forked it before it got shut down and are actively developing it,

It is only really in the states where 'liberal' means left wing. Nearly everywhere else liberalism is centre or centre-left.

When MS killed Atom we forked it as Pulsar (https://pulsar-edit.dev/). It is under active development, entirely community-led and everything is as open and transparent as possible. We have downloads for various Linux distros (x86 and arm), macOS and Windows. Might be worth a look if that is the kind of editor you are interested in.

And imagine discord like experience without gifs. Impossible.

Sounds like heaven to me

I got to that once, on mobile I've never worked out the rule for when FF opens a new tab vs opening a site in your current tab. They just kind of silently accumulate.

I always wonder why GUIX seems to get left out vs NixOS

Glad you found us at least :) Those were the exact reasons we wanted to keep it alive, I tried but I just can't get used to VSC having used Atom for so long.

• Helix for terminal editing because I never got on well with the order you had to do things in Vim, Helix (and Kakoune) make more sense to me.
• Lite-XL for a lightweight GUI editor. I just think its neat.
• Pulsar for everything else (mainly because I'm involved with it, come visit us on Lemmy at !pulsaredit@lemmy.ml /shill). Literally over 10k packages for install and an awful lot of active development.

Edit: Using this to give a shout out to other projects I've come across on my travels:

• Brackets/Phoenix - A community effort to keep the abandoned Adobe Brackets editor going, has a web version now, linux version still in the works after Adobe removed support for it.
• CudaText - Pretty fast and supports a huge number of languages
• eCode - Not used it in a while but is part of the eeep GUI project, lightweight and pretty interesting with lots of active development on both eCode and eeep.
• Bitters - Very much an oddball here, inspired by the Canon CAT word processor/computer from the 80s with a really interesting "leaping" way of navigating text.
• Aura Text - Interesting little editor written in Python

And some terminal ones:

• Zee - an emacs-like editor written in Rust. Main repo seems to be dead but one of the Lapce devs is working on a fork of it - https://git.panekj.dev/pj/zee
• Amp - another Rust based editor with some interesting ways to navigate text
• dte - Just a nice terminal editor
• moe - Vim-like editor written in Nim (not to be confused with GNU Moe)
• Feather - Specifically for opening huge files
• Tilde - Curses type interface, can be used with a mouse in some terminals

Not that I think necessarily the left/right wing divide as we currently know it can be applied to history like that but I'm not so sure we can categorise the hyper-religious separatists as not being right wing at all. Either way, history isn't the point here, the association many have of the kinds of people that tout "1776" everywhere tends to be the wife-beater wearing, massive pickup toting, 2fa enthusiasts obsessed with tramping people's rights in the name of "muh freedums".

I think the website is having some issues... or is it just me?
