What is your favorite discord alternative? - Lemmy.World

Real life. I seem to meet a lot less pedophiles that way
Maybe they just hide it better IRL 🤷🏻‍♂️
or inside churchs
Are people just making it a habit of randomly joining unknown servers? I have literally never run into pedos on discord and I’ve been active in 50+ (not at the same time) since it launched
…hi.
Discord.gg/nopedosallowed
It’s plural, so one is fine.
It’s actually supposed to be read “no, Pedos allowed!”
Because of Lemmy having a space for it in the profile stuff, I discovered Matrix. It’s basically the same thing, but without the bullshit.
Matrix is my fav. But I also use IRC and XMPP.
For now Matrix, but I plan to move to Revolt or Fosscord (now called Spacebar) when they’re ready
I’d like to use something other then Discord, but the problem is none of my friends give a shit about privacy and all use Discord still. I will have zero chance getting them to make the switch when they inherently don’t care about their data privacy.
I have tried to change my friends too but also another thing is quality audio and noise suppression. I have tried Mumble , Jami , Element all of them lack a proper noise suppression algorithm that’s its good enough for us.

I tried running the armcord wrapper, but when I wanted to stream a game to my friends in the server, it wouldn’t work through armcord , then getting armcord shut down and logged into Discord proper was hugely problematic so I ended up abandoning it all together.

I think the hurdle we have is, no one but the privacy minded want to change, so for individual decisions like switching off of gmail to proton mail, works great, but for apps that are group based in nature, and only have value if everyone is using it… just about impossible to make the switch.

I don’t use it, but I’m surprised revolt.chat isn’t mentioned.
Revolt

Find your community, connect with the world. The chat platform that puts you first.

IRC
I miss the IRC days. The only reason I even use discord is for information and support from companies or groups that only use discord. I really wish the things I follow would move away from discord but it doesn’t seem likely.
Same. 20-25 years ago I had a second monitor only for winamp+IRC. I missed hanging out online with people with which I had shared interests. I’m not on IRC anymore, mostly because the communities disbanded, and I’ve failed to find a new one that I enjoy with regulars rather than randos.
We used Jitsi for our D&D sessions. But it crapped out on us too often so we switched to Discord.
I host my nerd herds Teamspeak3 service still. Its pretty much my internet residence, but from what skuttlebutt I have heard, they are skipping TS4 and going to TS5. Its supposed to be a self hosted discord clone… With some dumb licensing thing… Honestly im not interested and will keep TS3 as long as I can.
harmony

What a shit name for such a cool project

Names like this make is impossible to search for the project because there 20 million things called harmony

It’s more a state of affairs than an app per se
Kinda wish xFire would make a comeback.
Damn almost forgot that existed!
