  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.

  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.

    No voice in IRC though

      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 ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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
