Is there a new "default"platform everyone is moving to? I’m kind of surprised there isn’t an open source discord clone that comes with e2e encryption. I’m not tech savvy enough to understand the challenges involved I’m sure.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think a Discord clone would need e2e encryption. Some large Discord servers have hundreds of thousands of users. I just think that if you want a small private communication channel, something like a Signal group would work better.
Yeah I’ve tried both. Stoat looks good and seems like the best option for similar organization but matrix seems better in terms of privacy. If matrix wasn’t so clumsy it would be hands down the best option.
I’ve tried most of these. A lot seem more geared towards slack alternatives or more like work chat type things. Voice chat is critical and some lack it or have it tacked on. Teamspeak is the opposite which text chat is tacked on. The closest alts right now are stoat, fluxer and root. Fluxer and stoat and open source, root is VC funded. I’m pushing for fluxer personally. But he is getting hug of death at the moment.

My money’s on fluxer. I got a good vibe with him.

The obvious alternative would be Jami
You’re probably right. The only reason I would want that is because there are always leaks and data harvesting
I’ve seen Stoat thrown around, I think the best swap right now is to matrix though.
No. Matrix is totally not the same vibe.
Stoat is great, but they need to release voice to self hosted still.

It is so fucking clumsy. I hate it.
Fluxer seems pretty good.
A friend recently sent me this there seem to be plenty to try out
This is false. For Stoat voice is not available to self hosted still, and the primary channel is not available.
