RIP Discord: Self-Hosted Discord Alternatives Tested (TeamSpeak, Stoat, Fluxer, Matrix, & More)

Yeeah… Noble effort, really. Except people don’t give enough of a shit to actually move.

I’ve arranged for a Matrix space and one and a half Teamspeak server to be used for my friend server of about 100 people. 10 registered and 0 use the Matrix. The Teamspeak is maybe 3 people.

Most people won’t budge until they see the ID verification screen, and some not even then.

I have a discord with 14 friends that we’re abandoning. I created a Root community (yeah, not open source or self hosted, but it’s what I can do) and we’ve had 7 move over in the last month. The rest have 2 weeks before the discord gets deleted …
