Discord Alternatives, Ranked #oldaily https://www.downes.ca/post/78827 This is a ranking of modern community-building tools. Think of them as alternatives to things like Slack or Microsoft Teams. What makes them 'modern' (in my view) is that individual users can sign on to multiple communities (or 'teams', or 'channels') and interact in multiple ways: through chat in real-time (sometimes by audio or video), synchronous topic-based boards, or through file and media sharing.
