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.

    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.

    Screen share, specifically with low latency, is a huge feature thats really widely used. Everything from watching videos together, to playing RPGs via the shared screen, to coaching esports games. When I tried Matrix before (like a year ago) the multi-second latency on screen sharing was what made me give up on it.

    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 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.
