Just gonna list some facts about #discordalternatives right now, as it's a pretty hot topic of discussion on where NOT to go:

1. Teamspeak - Centralized, you have to pay a subscription to own a server

2. Revolt/Stoat - Centralized, suffers from the same privacy problems as Discord

In Search of a Discord Replacement

Just read a #blog post by @no-bull.sh about #DiscordAlternatives which covers a lot of ground. I hope more and more people talk about what's going on with #Discord and we start to see more #development of #FOSS #opensource #decentralized #chat #apps We need it no-bull.sh/blog/2026/02...

Stoat Stoat is the chat app where you are the main character.

#ByeByeDiscord #DiscordAlternatives
People are switching to alternatives.
I tried some of them (root, Element, ...) and finally, except if you have a better Idea or some arguments against them, I will switch to #stoat stoat.chat

I’ve been seeing lots of options for #discordalternatives
But I’m getting overwhelmed and I need some help.

I currently run a small furry fitness discord server and I want to migrate to a new platform.

I’ve setup a Root community, and one of my members is working on a Matrix/Element version.

Screenshot of a Message from Discord. There's a rectangle with a lock icon and text that says "Message hidden". Below it, there's small font that reads "Discord now requires ID verification in order to see certain messages. Learn more", where "Learn more" is highlighted in blue, hinting it's a link.

Prank your #discord friends with this simple #markdown trick:

Anybody have any info on reasonable discord alternatives?
Been having a lot of friends ask me, and realizing I haven't really looked around much.

Saw a couple today, but looking for more info on this front.
Would especially love some form of multi-platform tool.

I don't need an alternative to Discord that works the same as Discord.

I need to find a community of gamers on a non-corporate platform.

Where are you?!

RootApp terms of service stating "Sexually Explicit Material: We do not permit pornographic or gory content."

Nerimity Terms of Service stating "creating a server on Nerimity that involves exploitation of any game or creating an NSFW-based server will cause your account to be suspended and the server deleted."

so people looking for #discordalternatives -- @rootapp.com #rootapp is dead on arrival, they're anti-nsfw/sw. #nerimity (no acct here) is also dead on arrival, they're anti-nsfw AND anti mod/emulation. so those are a no-go for basically everyone. i'll keep posting as i find more shit. #discord

Original post on app.wafrn.net

People are talking about pros and cons of Matrix (too complicated) and Revolt/Stoat (vague "it's bad" for some reason), but I haven't seen anyone talking about Quiet? I saw a link to it like a week ago but it hasn't been on anyone's list today of alternatives. Does anyone know anything about it? […]

What isn't a Viable Alternative: Matrix #matrix #discordAlternatives > This post is part of a series of posts about viable alternatives to discord. You can check the `#discordAlternatives` tag above for all blogposts in this series. Matrix is, nowadays, one of _the most recommended “Discord Alternatives”_ , especially if your audience resides on the Fediverse where one half will absolutely hate it, and the other much louder half will be those that believe in Matrix for one reason or another. And I get it! It is federated, replicates and decentralizes data¹ has tons of servers and a corporate entity behind it that provides it with funding...is what some would say The reality is, matrix lacks funding², lacks moderation tools, lacks spec-compliant clients, has hundreds of open MSCs with important changes that can impact the ecosystem as a whole, make it more secure, more robust, more reliable, safer for everyone In real-life scenarios, projects have had to give up Matrix entirely—despite self-hosting and despite having a moderation bot—because the abuse that is happening on the platform is simply too large. Projects like Librewolf are regularly getting spammed with _literally illegal material_ —the same reason other projects simply left—and have to fight against this for themselves. They cannot restrict who can send media, they cannot setup any raid protection, federation is simply too slow for anyone to react in time, including bots, which aren't even fast enough either. There is also no way to filter events before things happen because a malicious server could easily just patch out this filter. In other words, moderation is probably one of Matrix's largest weakpoints. It makes it absolutely unsuitable for any even moderately sized community, especially those that are potentially already vulnerable (i.e queer communities). Yet somehow it still gets worse, on a more technical level. * * * Due to how Matrix is designed, servers that participate in a room (i.e users from different servers all talking in the same room) have to do _state resolution_ to figure out what the current state is. This is because there is no “owner” to a room in the sense of “a server where all the data resides”, _all_ servers have that role and as such they require a mechanism that allows them to synchronize this data. The algorithm however is brittle and far from perfect. When a fatal error happens, it often happens that two participating rooms get _different_ state, and as such... ## State Resets A state reset is when one or more servers decides to reset their state back to a “known-good” point. This leads to any state changes done since then, like membership, permissions and more being entirely undone up to the point that effectively, they never existed. This is of course a major issue, as it means that any moderation done up to a given point is effectively undone. It makes people unable to communicate properly with those who aren't also on their server, and that is just the start. Especially when many changes to state happen frequently across many servers, state resets become more common. Like, you know, **when trying to moderate**. * * * To this comes a whole host of features that Matrix is simply lacking. * Up until recently, there was **no native VoIP, only Jitsi** , and Element Call is _still_ not enabled by default unless you're using Element X on a mobile device. But Element X is considered unfinished so... * _Good_ , platform-wide (e.g widely supported in apps/clients) support for custom Emoji and Stickers. Element still lags behind here and the relevant MSC(s) still isn't/aren't merged. * Scheduled Messages. * Content Warnings and/or Spoilers for media. There is an MSC, to my knowledge only Cinny supports it. * Multiple attachments (i.e images) per message. Not a single client supports this. * Portable Identities—i.e not being stuck on one server and having to move everything manually. There are MSCs about this, none are implemented anywhere. * Metadata Privacy. Currently lots of metadata is still available to a given server that really should not be, like replies and other relationship events (e.g Emoji Reactions, which are never encrypted.) * Profile Descriptions. There simply are none, you cannot add _any_ extra information to your profile apart from a timezone in some recent versions of Element and Gomuks(-web). Some clients _may_ also support status, but the largest homeserver (matrix.org) has that entire feature disabled. * Proper message forwarding. Some clients may support this but they effectively only copy/paste a message into a different chat. There is not even any indication that it's been forwarded. * Sharing live location. On top of all the above missing features, some of the already existing features are not even consistently implemented between clients. Some STILL don't show media captions, Element X (the in-beta mobile rewrite) cannot display custom emoji at all, and NO ONE can decide how to do text formatting properly (seriously, maybe `<br>` shouldn't be usable y'know?), some implement MatrixRTC and others stick to legacy VoIP, some have widgets and some don't... And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Seriously I've barely scratched the surface of weird inconsistencies between clients–I dare you to find one client that implements the spec 100% accurately, and mind you, it's **NOT** Element. * * * My final point is that, essentially, Matrix is—as it stands—simply not suited for anything serious _especially_ when it comes to hosting communities. Notice how I didn't even touch on the `unable to decrypt` meme that often goes around...that would've opened a whole new can of worms If matrix wants to _become_ viable, it must find the funding and invest into some core areas of the protocol that are quite frankly, broken. This includes not just moderation and T&S³, but also finding solutions on reliable key exchange even when the wider network is unreliable, finding solutions to “split-brained” rooms and state resets, getting (security) audits from the get-go and not just after an unaudited library was used and recommended for _years_. The list goes on, there is a lot of issues to unpack and tackle. > Oh also, **I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MSCs TO FIX SOME OF THESE THINGS.** Shut up. I've heard too much about it already, infact I tried writing some in the past and most of them ended up dead before I even submitted them * * * 1: Well, to some extent. One notable exception is how Media is not decentralized. 2: Especially now that the Matrix Foundation wants to fund everything themselves and not have their bills paid by Element anymore. 3: Trust and Safety * * * # ↓ To support me, check out my Ko-Fi! ↓ https://ko-fi.com/cyrneko Any little bit helps <3
