It seems like an awesome project that fulfills a lot of the requirements for bridging many popular messaging platforms (like FB messenger, WhatsApp, discord, signal, and more). I wanted to share because I know a lot of us have friends and family who still use antiquated/proprietary communication platforms. Fair warning, I have not tried self hosting it myself yet since my server is kinda of a mess right now. Lmk what y’all think.
Slidge gateways are puppeteering, meaning you need an account to remote control on the external legacy network, but other than that it usually works quite well for a young project like it is.
All expected.
Isn’t puppeteering, aka self botting, a bannable offense one some of these networks?
https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002192352-Automated-user-accounts-self-bots This article is only half true. Bot accounts do not have full access to all API routes, but you can still be banned for botting regular accounts.
Yes, but that is the only realistic way to do this. In praxis is basically never happens unless you start spamming etc.
Does this work with Discord normal accounts?
Yes, if you mean the Slidge Discord transport.
Though I’m more intrested to see how it looks from XMPP side aka servers vs DMs
