shockrah 5d0f02507b - Removing build-keys job 
Was basically pointless since it's literally just two commands

! full-mock-test job now has scripts/run-api-tests.sh as its source code
This makes it way easier to debug the pipeline when things go wrong as there's
lots of _different_ things going on in that script.
While the script itself is still there it is completely deprecated and safe to remove
at this point

! PAIN Peko
Dependancies might be fucked because gitlab-runner doesn't use deps at all and frankly
I'm completely over doing this stupid patch. Next is decentralized features which is way
more fun to do so if it breaks I'll fix it but its likely an issue with artifacts

FreeChat

What this is

A FOSS chatting platform that brings in more modern features that a lot of people have come to expect.

Why not just IRC/Discord/Slack/Mumble etc?

A tonne of IRC channel are basically dead since so many have moved to Discord/Slack. Why? Because those platforms have features that IRC just doesn't have. A lot of people have deemed those features worth the switch.

Discord/Slack are proprietary spyware with no real alternative. The quality of the service is high enough for people to ignore the datamining, it's time a proper client came by.

Mumble could work but has an awful reputation amongst regular non-technical users.

So it's a Discord/Slack clone?

Chat history is limited similar to nearly every chan/booru. This can be turned off to preserve all chat history.

The biggest difference is the lack of data collection; servers collect the following data:

  • User id - generated by the server

  • User password - generated by the server

  • User name - provided by user

  • User chat - How much depends on how the server was configured or if a message was pinned to NOT be deleted.

  • Users Status - user is online/offline: HOWEVER this is controlled by the user.

  • User permissions - To discern admins from less privileged users.

Working Status

Is this finished or almost finished?

Short: The API has basic functionality for chatting but still requires more endpoints to be fully featured. So yes the API at least is in a MVP state. But everything else is either in infancy or not done.

Long: No. A basic client is still underway and the chat API is missing a metric tonne of features. However The state of the chat API is such that it shouldn't be hard to implement many of the desired endpoints.
