This was my solution as soon as they floated the ID thing. Said bye to my groups and uninstalled without a single look back.

    Keeping an eye on fluxer. It looked promising. But yeah, xmpp matrix etc are solid.

    made a fluxer account, seems to have all the pros of discord, but it needs more people.

    Discord is getting too big for its own good, governments are already on top of it. For the EU at least, it's likely it will be branded as "social media" and receive a total ban unless if you show your police ID.

    Yup same here. Left all servers, messaged the handful of people I chatted with there that I'm leaving and to add me on Matrix if they want to keep in touch, then uninstalled.

    I setup my own Matrix homeserver back when discord announced the global age stuff earlier this year, and its been rock solid since then with the couple friends that also weren't happy with discord. With it being proven reliable for many months now, I don't really need discord for anything

    What does it take to get voice/video chat working on Matrix? I see Element has their own server stack, but I can't tell how open it is, and that's kinda the big thing that's keeping me away from trying to go harder on Matrix.

    MatrixRTC is part of the Matrix protocol these days, so if the client is compliant, it should work on any server setup for it. I use synapse and livekit, and it works great. Its all just one docker compose stack

    I was using element mostly, but recently switched to Sable. There are a few more that also support voice and video I believe
