I was wondering if there are places similar to discord servers where you can just hang out and talk while you are gaming or doing something else.

But that don't require you to sign up with personal information, ask for face identification or track you for advertising.

    Aardwolf is still up and fairly active as of when I last played, maybe a year ago. Has a nice client you can download with some QoL features like an automapper

    It's not my favorite mud ever in terms of gameplay (RIP project Bob. Too good for this world) but it's pretty good. I did like 3 remorts and got bored of the random "go kill this mob" quests, and some of the area puzzles are annoying. These are related thoughts.

    There's a few Foss discord replacements about, but userbase isn't the same. IRC is still kicking but doesn't hold a candle to the 'LAN IN A box' feeling of discord. None are as good as discord yet, but i. Expect that will change..

    I can't answer, but I bet it would be helpful for people to know what kind of games you play.

    Matrix, XMPP, the platform you're on right now and the Fediverse as a whole, IRC....
