Discord has announced that it's rolling out age verification checks globally from March – and the decision has sparked fury from many privacy-conscious users.
Matrix and Teamspeak are the big ones, ive seen people talking about XMPP and other self-hosted solutions. The real issue people are waking up to is that if you dont host your communication tools, you dont own them.
The self-hosting community is buzzing with people spooling up their own services and getting ready to abandon discord. If you or people in your circles need help setting stuff up, just ask. Plenty of helpful nerds and guides are around.
Check out the Teamspeak 6 beta. I’ve checked out probably all the most popular discord alternatives at this point (as I refuse to use it and am always looking for something to convince others to get off of it) and the TS6 beta is almost right there as far as core features and experience goes.
the best alternative I can think of is Matrix - is there another?
Stoat.chat and XMPP
also Teamspeak, Ventrilo and Mumble are still around, they just feel incredibly dated and old by comparison to modern apps
Don’t sleep on the Teamspeak 6 beta. It is very close to being a total discord replacement and in its current form is still extremely usable.
Huh, okay, well I’ll have a look
