just like we had lemmygrad.ml as an alternative for Reddit, we need to have an alternative for discord. discord’s new policies have been supressing servers and members left and right. Now there are some options that I want to present here
Guilded: Basically very nice UI, it’s completely free most nitro features of discord are completely free on Guilded. it has got more features that discord doesn’t have the only issue is that it is gaming centric and majority communities are related to gaming
Revolt: Github open source like lemmy same features as discord, good UI, there are some features like that it lacks but upcoming and promising.
slack and matrix are trash don’t fall for it
If somehow discord server gets banned, you would be thanking me for this.
thank you for reading and upvoting
What’s wrong with Matrix? The Element web client is very slow, but it seems fine aside from that

Matrix is referring to the open-source chat service: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite

It’s hosted wherever you host it. Since it’s open source and decentralized (federated), you can host a server and join rooms from other servers. That’s what I’ve done, so for me, it’s hosted in my room.
