Great time to start looking for alternatives. Any suggestions?

Depends what you use it for. I see people use it for group chats, video calls, and forums, all of which would have different replacements.

IMHO computers are made for text. As this comment illustrates.😆

That’s fine for some folks, but i game with friends a lot. So far discord is the easiest for that. Been researching alternatives for a bit and might go back Mumble, though

Can you share your screen on irc?
jtzl@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
That’s way too fancy for irc, but good idea! I will think about how to do that. Would a single still pic be useful?

It’s common to stream gameplay to friends during a voice call. Sharing a single image doesn’t really compare

Matrix seems like the one with most potential to develop into a 1:1 Discord alternative.
Then you have XMPP, Mattermost, RocketChat, whatever Revolt.chat renamed itself into, etc.

That is a spectacularly bad name, lol

CalcKey? FireFish? Developers of Discord alternatives are just a special kind of person. Their efforts are commendable of course.

Matrix is stunningly unintuitive to use, sadly.

Matrix is a protocol with multiple options for front-end clients. If you don’t like Element, for example, you can try Cinny. They both use Matrix but are different apps.
