Are there any #foss #discord alternatives that are suitable for end-users that are non technical? (I mean, not at all. So matrix seems like not an option)
I’m trying to suggest suitable alternatives to my video editing community, however I feel like I haven’t found anything that’s accessible enough.
@Lycoris Can you give some details about the features that are needed and possible problems you worry about?
Just one linear room or more structure (multiple rooms, threads)? Could a forum (like Discourse) work? Serious permission-management for moderation? Invite-only or public? Needs an app or mainly web-view?
In my experience Matrix can work if you clearly recommend one server and don't enable encryption in your rooms.
@hexmasteen sadly matrix is already too much. The hosts of the “servers” are very non technical. That’s the issue: I would love an exact discord clone, mostly. But most required are:
- Voice chat that holds 10+ people
- different channels/rooms with moderation possibilities and role systems (for notifications, permissions)
- video hosting capabilities would be ideal, though that could potentially be outsourced
@Lycoris Stoat is the closest to discord features that I know of, at least once they roll out the new voice chat with streaming and such.
Zulip is a good option for the chat side of things, but no streaming or voice channels on it.
Nextcloud Talk or Jitsi Meet are options for video/voice calls and screen sharing, I think nextcloud talk has chat of some kind too.
