Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

      The best open source Video Calling alternative to Discord is Element. It’s not free, so if you’re looking for a free alternative, you could try Element

      I’m not particularly confident about the quality of this page!

        I think the “it’s not free” is related to discord since there is a paid discord. But the sentence is quite confusing.

          Feels very AI generated.

        Alternativeto is a great resource but those summary paragraphs can be ignored. Scroll down a bit and you can see user reviews for each suggested alternative.

      Speaking of, any good hosts that you could run one of those alternatives as well as a django website? 🤔

        There are European hosts, but I admit, I’m not a techie. That’s why I pay others to host and manage my stuff.
