Matrix is not going to catch on. It is too intense for the average person. My friend didn’t want to bother with all the security features and couldn’t sign in without issue constantly.
Slack requires payment for messages to persist over 90 days. We used to use Slack for an organization I’m part of. We moved to Discord when that was introduced which is kinda funny.
Matrix is no where near the level of discord, if all you need is a chat app than ya sure, simplex or Matrix work great. If you want feature parity… Definitely not either of those two, as they are just glorified sms/group text apps.
Well don’t downvote the comment that answered your question. If you’re looking for something that’s exactly exactly exactly Z, then the answer will only ever be Z
You’re getting downvoted because your answer was bad. Slack isn’t “not exactly like discord”, slack is not even remotely close to a replacement for discord unless you are only considering text based lobbies. Slack is built around enterprise IM as a paid service, discord is built around gaming voice chat as a free service.
If someone says that they want to replace their Tesla and you offer a golf cart to them while saying, “they’re both electric, so same difference”, don’t be surprised by others finding that unhelpful.
I would love to have an alternative to which some of the communities I am currently in can migrate. Not easy to find anything that is like Discord.
Matrix is a possibility but its sometimes a bit of a hard sell to people.
yeah, was going to say I think Matrix is the reasonable alternative

I feel like a modern IRC client would cover it wouldn’t it? What am I missing?
My friends tell me it’s screen share that they want and why Mumble etc. won’t cut it.
I dont know if Stoat (ex Revolt) is as good but it seems to be the most direct competitor
Yeah looks like it. Thanks. Maybe I take a closer look at that one.
Teamspeak3 still works fine for me
Slack is basically the same thing as a platform

Slack needs payment to have group calls. Also it would be nice to move something open and ideally something self-hosted.
matrix maybe?

Believe it or not. I did not downvote you. Seems crazy but there are other people here and promoting Slack seems to be a not so popular opinion.
