I've seen mentioned these: - Stoat - pretty much same UI, based in UK, not sure where they get $$ - Fluxer - looks virtually like 1:1 Discord clone, based in Sweden, has paid tier pretty much like Nitro on Discord on official server - Nerimity - a little different UI, but still very Discord-y, based in UK, sourced from donations - Movim - this one is interesting, but it's not really Discord style app; it looks more like cross breed between IM and social network (FB/X), origin in France - Strafe - looks like Discord, supposedly have e2ee - Spacebar - reverse engineered Discord, IDK about maturity of this one - Adapt - another wanna be

Clients like cinny are getting pretty close to a replacement ux wise (if you look at PR2599 on Cinny's GitHub, they are working on and will soon merge support for LiveKit in a way that is very close to voice channels). I also generally think that the only way to replace Discord as an ecosystem where you talk to many people from different communities is a federated protocol, not a bunch of new silos, one for each community.

The problem isn't that there are no alternatives. It's that there's like 50 alternatives. Centralization makes us vulnerable, but it's also super convenient. There's a reason we preferred reddit and now Lemmy instead of different forums with different logins for everything. The biggest problem with getting off Discord is fragmentation of communities.

There's Stoat (formerly Revolt) and Fluxer. Additionally, Steam has many Discord-like features in app.

> And no, Matrix is not and will never be a viable alternative Why not? I've been using Matrix for a few years now. I like it, but it definitely lacks refinement and isn’t particularly user-friendly. I think of it a bit as being the Linux of messaging platforms.

Someone has made a large spreadsheet of discord alternatives, with comparisons of features, that might help people decide: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14vicw-V9Z5m7ckuburP5wxyDIIb_fFJFEjnxxHk8qRw/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Slack seems cool to me and my friends, is it not cool to other people?
