I really wish there was a good competitor to Discord. I have not found one that has the same screen sharing feature. Revolt (now Stoat) gets close but lacks the screen sharing - something me and my friends use a lot. They are adding this soon so hopefully it is good
I don’t know why people keep saying this. You either pay for a service, or you get a company extracting as much data as they can from you for advertiser or VC money. Servers and bandwidth cost money
Now more than ever people will have to choose between privacy and comfort. And not to be a dick, but now more than ever, people choosing comfort are fucking over people who choose privacy.
Matrix is an absolutely pale imitation of Discord.
Yes it is very upsetting that the most popular chat platform in the Western world is in league with Sauron, but Matrix as a replacement is a glorified ICQ client that regularly yells at you that your device is untrusted now and there’s no hope of fixing it, you loser.

Matrix, XMPP, GNU-Jami & SimpleX
None of those come close to the features Discord has.
Revolt (Stoat?) is alright, but good luck getting people to join there lol, Discord is the only thing people are willing to join

I know that person he is me.
Matrix or Jitsi with Lemmy or any popular forum software would be my suggestion. More secure and private but require some technical knowledge.

Yeah Matrix is horrible, I don’t think it will ever catch on
I used Element and it was also an overcomplicated and cluttered UI. They should’ve just straight copied Discord like ReVolt/Stoat did
