Hey everyone,

I've been looking to move my community away from Discord lately. While Discord is great, the lack of control over data and the "walled garden" feel is starting to bug me.

I’m looking for something that I can integrate directly into my own site/app. Ideally, it needs to handle live streaming and have some decent moderation tools because, well... people are people.

I recently stumbled upon Watchers while digging through some tech threads. It seems to hit that sweet spot of having a built-in live streaming feature and AI moderation, which would save me a ton of time on manual flagging.

Has anyone here tried integrating it into a self-hosted stack? I'm curious about how it stacks up against something like Matrix or Rocket.Chat in terms of resource usage and ease of customization. Would love to hear some first-hand experiences before I dive deep into the docs.
