I would love to have an alternative to which some of the communities I am currently in can migrate. Not easy to find anything that is like Discord.

I dont know if Stoat (ex Revolt) is as good but it seems to be the most direct competitor
Show threadkuroFeb 9
Yeah looks like it. Thanks. Maybe I take a closer look at that one.

Matrix is a possibility but its sometimes a bit of a hard sell to people.
Show threaddandelionFeb 9
yeah, was going to say I think Matrix is the reasonable alternative
Show threadchosensilenceFeb 9
Matrix is not going to catch on. It is too intense for the average person. My friend didn’t want to bother with all the security features and couldn’t sign in without issue constantly.
Show threadPostimoFeb 10
That’s only really a problem if it’s end to end encrypted right?
Show threadUlrichFeb 10
But…it is.
Show threadPostimoFeb 11
Last I remember using it. it was a room setting or something. I don’t remember exactly, but it was always as pain with the friends I had it toggled on with, but otherwise fine.
Show threadUlrichFeb 11
Yeah but it’s on by default. And it’s not clear at all that you can turn it off or how.
Show threadPostimoFeb 11
Ah yeah, I don’t know if I agree with it as default when it’s janky. But I get their logic.
Show threadQueenHawlSeraFeb 10
I’ve used Matrix and it’s… a bit unwieldy to say the least.
Show threadQueenHawlSeraFeb 13
Matrix IS NOT user friendly nor is it for breakfast
Show threadPipsterFeb 13
Its really not that bad. If you dont mess with the encryption stuff too much then even an idiot like me was able to drive it well enough.
Show threadknatschusFeb 9
Teamspeak3 still works fine for me
Show threadBenchamonehFeb 9
I feel like a modern IRC client would cover it wouldn’t it? What am I missing?

My friends tell me it’s screen share that they want and why Mumble etc. won’t cut it.
Show threadPlzGivHugsFeb 10
Screen share, specifically with low latency, is a huge feature thats really widely used. Everything from watching videos together, to playing RPGs via the shared screen, to coaching esports games. When I tried Matrix before (like a year ago) the latency on screen sharing was what made me give up on it.

I’ve been told to try Stoat a lot today, but the Discord news seems to have hugged their signup system to death.
Show threadkuroFeb 10
Well thats good and bad at the same time. I will try today as well. Maybe Stoat can get a critical number of users going to get this really started.

Zulip is good.

It looks interesting. Do you know if I as a user can join multiple groups? Because I am part of a few servers on Discrod with widely different topics and its not an option to have one community and have all people join there.
