I agree to disagree, a burger is a functional food (product) and a lot of the options provided deliver a functional product for what it is designed to do.

Mumble is great for voice chat, XMPP is great for plain text, etc.

Discord is a set of products wrapped in a platform. You have chats, voice, video, screensharing, filesharing, threads, bots, etc.

But since you want the whole buffet you’ll need to wait while Stoat and Spacebar finish cooking all the food, they don’t have a team of chefs backed by VC money.

If you don’t care for all that just keep using Discord or move to a proprietary buffet like Root until it enshittifies like Discord.

Stoat literally supports voice calls and Matrix has supported 1 on 1 voice calls for a long time and now they are testing group voice chats

I’m sorry but it will be difficult to deliver something that fits all the checkboxes Discord filled without a lot of money behind it.

Following the food analogy, you don’t want a burger, you want a whole buffet with all the foods discord delivered.

you don’t need to talk about gender to be porno for them, you just need to exist as a queer

SpaceHey exists, but just like the old internet moderation is a problem in that site (lots of harassing)

no pressure to the stoat team but I hope they put focus on the selfhosting part

yeah it’s the closest to a real discord clone, at least discord before they introduced screen sharing

and it was roblox’s property anyway

I think the biggest exodus from reddit happened when they limited their API so all 3rd party apps died at the same time

But reddit had a lot of blunders so this is just my guess

you’re on the list now, not the pedo list, that’s exclusive for billionaires
