What you give up vs Discord
- Primarily a screen-sharing tool; lacks persistent text chat or channels
- WebRTC requires open UDP ports, complicating setups behind strict firewalls
- No persistent user accounts or roles beyond admin/participant
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host neko on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Discord: no data ownership or self-hosting).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (Apache-2.0).
