    Revolt (now known as Stoat) isn't federated though.

    Is there a federated version, either in the works or planned? Because otherwise, Stoat is the only option.

    Matrix just isn't up to it. It doesn't feel like Discord at all. It hasn't taken off in any meaningful way.

    None of those really "feel like" the things they're replacing. I don't really even think that should be the goal. They occupy the same space, though, and the infographic would look stupid if it showed all the options in some category, so they just picked a popular proprietary/centralized one, and a popular federated alternative in the same category. In this case discord is a popular chat app, and the most popular federa chat app afaict is matrix.

    No.

    Other alternatives are Root, not federated.

    There's also Roomy in development which is federated, and will tie into Bluesky.

    Maybe add Matrix as a Discord alternative?

    The Element application is solid now. Still I think it'd be a rough transition for most discord users. But more users probably means more potential for developer interest

    Eh, kind of. I have almost 300 unread message notifications I cannot get rid of. I have scrolled up as far as I can then slowly back down. I have gone into threads and done the same.
