Discord alternatives? (lemy.lol)

Discord is banned in Turkiye. The reason is some data theft, blackmail, AI montage photos, etc. As usual, our government made the easiest and most illogical move :)

I am looking for an alternative platform to talk and chat with my friends. Which platforms do you recommend?

The ones I tried:

  • Revolt: Voice chat is not stable. They do not accept new registrations.
  • Matrix: Unstable overall.
  • TeamSpeak: ancient interface. We can still try it.
  • XMPP: It has an old interface like TS. Not sure if it has voice channels.
  • Your recommendations?

Tbf, they actually are. Element X and the sliding sync are ready I think. If the server and client both use it, I think you can use it today. Or maybe the whole matrix 2.0 where that's all integrated isn't pushed into main/master yet. Im any case, I read it was ready maybe a few weeks ago.

Element X is still missing a lot of features, "ready" is an exaggeration I feel

No Spaces support in particular is a dealbreaker for me

Ahh, good point. I have only been "testing" matrix for a year and haven't enabled sliding sync so haven't bothered using element x yet.

Well then theyre right- one day it might get done. 😄

It will be done the same year when it's finally "year of linux"... Sad, but seems to be the case.
