Have not used this so I can’t speak to their viability, but there’s also @root
Like I mentioned in a similar post, please look at this alternative: https://stoat.chat/
Does this still require you to ‘call’ people to be in a voice channel? Or is it now similar to discord in that you join a channel and can hear anyone in it?
Seams cool, but why not matrix since matrix has different instances you can chose from.
forgot to add that one, my other post did include Matrix as well :)
Well, time to dump Discord after I finish school.
What about Fractal? It even have a flatpak https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal
Fractal is not multiplatform (i.e. isn’t available on Android and on iOS) and Matrix can be confusing to people not already familiar with it.
And no, a wall of text explaining what Matrix is won’t help since most of Discord’s users are teenagers with a very short attention span that don’t read much (unless they’re forced to by school).
Potential solution, may be controversial.
Just add a vertical video with Minecraft parkour or with CS surf on the bottom and a half naked woman from a freelance platform explaining what it is.
There are also Element and SchildiChat as alternative clients.
Best thing you can do with discord? Uninstall it.
Its Joever
Well this is horrid. Must we really all go back to TeamSpeak?
Why did we leave it?
teamspeak 4 felt like it was in the stone age while discord had a bunch of cool ass features for chatting outside of voice. it also was much more appealing to casuals by being free to use and super easy to set up your own server, whereas setting up your own teamspeak server involved portforwarding and whatnot that turns off the vast majority of “normies”
We left it mostly because there were better services out there + the UI was considered outdated and all. But personally, I’d rather take the outdated UI than have my data stolen.
That’s a no go from here…
Of the accounts impacted globally, we have identified approximately 70,000 users that may have had government-ID photos exposed
Yeah, you go ahead & do that, & watch how many people will jump ship to other alternatives while you lose a lot of money & subscriptions, especially when you’ve been hacked before.
People have found other alternatives to TikTok, & they’ll do the same with Discord.
I mean, you’re not wrong, but have you seen what those alternatives were?
i wouldn’t be so optimistic. normies have a tendency to accept quite a lot.
I hope for once people would get together and drop Discord so that Discord would have to reverse this policy. So often, we the customers really have the power if we get together and act together. All these social networks are nothing without the contributions of the customers.

As the adage goes, if you’re not paying for it (and often even when you are), you’re not the customer.
On-device processing: Video selfies for facial age estimation never leave a user’s device.
Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.
Still a no for me for now, but a bit misleading: https://discord.com/press-releases/discord-launches-teen-by-default-settings-globally
is there a practical way to delete all your messages at once?
undiscord is good.
MSN Messenger for the win!
The same as Discord (IRC with a fancy GUI) but with the fact your data is unconsentionally sent to an intelligence agency for analysis.
Considering the recent “third-party” data breach cases…
More info for those unfamiliar:
