State of the Discord - A Lesson (r/selfhosted) (www.reddit.com)

TLDR: The r/selfhosted subreddit has a Discord server. The owner's account got hacked leaving the server in a precarious state. They submitted a support ticket, but Discord has not taken action in weeks and probably won't at all, so they are considering starting a new Discord server.

Stoat chat has been a good Discord alternative.

    What advantage does it have compared to Matrix?/IRC?

    It mimics discord, so functional voice rooms with screen sharing, text channels, and so on..

    Join different servers then? Not sure what to tell you.

    I use element and I am in many different matrix servers with voice rooms. I host my own as well, voice is done via livekit which makes connecting via MatrixRTC very easy, and is easy to setup and host.

    Those same voice rooms support webcams / video, as well as screen sharing.

    So voice is done via a different software not matrix?

    Matrix is a protocol, its all through some other software. Livekit is just a good and easy webrtc server that you can tie in with something like synapse

    I literally use matrix voice for my d&d group every week lol, just join a server that has voice

    Only thing I dislike is the lack of software based noise cancelling is a bit awkward but very managable

    It’s worked okay for me so far as well. The mobile apps aren’t super stable yet and notifications don’t work but it works for what it is right now. I do miss the stability of discord but I’m not going back
