Pain fucking ass but deleted my Discord account. Sure wish had a decent alternative. I see a lot of suggestions just don't which to try? Any that work great with Linux Debian?

I don't like element. It was too laggy. And I was having trouble with the other ones.

Do the people you talk with use Signal?

[–] Emopunker@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Signal and Discord are two different types of messenger. Discord is more a hybrid of a forum and like Teamspeak, but with vidchat and screenshare as well as a lot of aesthetic options.

Only used it when used to game with my kids. So no one I know uses Signal.

Me and my people are moving to stoat. They're having some growing pains right now, but I'm sure it'll smooth out.
