What do people actually use to game together instead of discord. Now that the dust has settled. Any recommendations? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Some time ago when Discord used Surveillance Services to face scan all their users a lot of possible alternatives where thrown around.

  • It should be already hosted by someone
  • have voice chat
  • Be easy to sign up to so that i can convince people

Discord is still king. People are way too invested.

Matrix is decent for me. Voice, video, and screen share, works well. Have not had issues with small friend groups

    I use matrix with a friend, matrix calls (the one that has the option for video) drop out on their own with no warning and the ring tone is very easy to miss, I wish there was anything to do about those two problems. Other than that it's great, legacy calls seem more robust

    So screensharing works without issues? Is it customizable on the backend?

    And how is it better, if I may ask?
