  I believe i can self-host a matrix client but no idea how well it will work with people currently having notifications by discord bot on their phone

  In my opinion discord is not yet enshittified enough for these problems to be easily solved. Give it a couple more years, if matrix gains just a bit more traction, the scaffolding to do stuff like that will be worked out.

  There’s very little that doesn’t scare non tech people.

      Sadly, no. I managed to bring a friend on Signal after years, 3 monthes later they asked me if it’s ok if we talk on WhatsApp because it’s too bothersome to use two different apps.

      smh my head.

        3 [months] later they asked me if it’s ok if we talk on WhatsApp because it’s too bothersome to use two different apps.

        Hey, remember in the age of about 9 different messenger protocols, when Pidgin allowed you to message people on the platform they preferred without too much fuss?

        The “things we lost in the post-y2k culling of clue and mentorship” box is running out of space.

        That’s not because it’s scary or people can’t understand how to use it, it’s just bothersome.

      No, people just don’t want to learn anything. They want everything to stay the same and never make compromises. No there is never a drop in one to one replacement for Discord or Windows or whatever else.

  Revolt is probably the closest fit revolt.chat

    revolt.chat

    Safe binaries we can validate with signed manifests, or just ISO27002-violating FlatSnappImage spooge?

  I heard Element just added screensharing

    It’s still in beta and audio appears to not always work when streaming. Though, there’s recent activity on the related issues, so hopefully it gets out of beta before Discord alienates the regular user.

    I tested it a few days ago and besides the audio problem it appears to work very well.

    Element with Matrix.org is getting pretty decent.

  I signed up with Matrix and it was not seamless but maybe a private server would be great and they could go from there (but that feels like a long term commitment to supporting those users). I haven’t really played much with it. Tried getting the folks in my discord server to give it a try but they haven’t and they are tech folks. I would say it’s not ready for normies, but I really wish it was.

    feels like a long term commitment

    says the guy who also says

    my discord server

    as if the two ideas aren’t the same.

    If you do it right, too, the private server is $0 in continuing labour.

  Keet is pretty cool and (granted I am a tech person) is pretty dead simple to use.
