Discord delays global age verification rollout after backlash - Dexerto - Discuss Online

Lemmy

good because i heard there isnt a good alternative to discord.

Perfect 1:1 drop in hassle free replacement with the exact same feature set? No, there isn’t.

Viable alternatives that aren’t too bad to learn? There are many.

I agree, but one of my friends told me the above.
Matrix is pretty good due to e2ee.
Matrix is cool but it is definitely not an alternative to discord. Also, matrix is a protocol and not a platform! Element for example, is based on matrix but element is NOT matrix. Anyways it is not ready for prime time unfortunately and the main instance matrix.org has, uhm, questionable privacy policies 
Matrix.org

Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communications

I see, also nice detailed explanation.
