    What better alternative to Discord are we all recommending at the moment, by the way? I know “almost anything else except WhatsApp or Telegram” but what’s the simple three-word “use X instead” right now?

      There aren’t any alternatives that are as good or feature-rich. If you’re willing to settle for less there’s Revolt that’s trying to be a 1-to-1 clone but is still in alpha, then there are apps based on Matrix which somehow makes using a chat app 10x harder.

        Revolt is just a dead project walking. It solves nothing and recreates most of the same problems discord has by following the same journey.

        Mumble is just the better option if you just need voice. And matrix if you need an all in one solution.

        Hell if you don’t want to go self hosted. team speak is a better discord alterative then revolt by a very very large margin L

        Team speak has been doing crazy work the last few years.

        I love Revolt’s customization though. I love it when software does that. I’d use it right now if I could get my budgie’s out of the chord.

      Mumble is self hosted and works great for voice and text chat. There’s also IRC. It’s almost as old as the internet, but it runs on anything.
