minus-squareFartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·25 days agoMastodon isn’t really a replacement for discord though.
minus-squareshortwavesurfer@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·25 days agoTrue. Matrix is more for that. Or possibly SimpleX.
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·25 days agoUnfortunately there’s not really anything that comes close to Discord. Revolt is the closest, as it’s open source and self-hostable but still lacks many of the features and isn’t federated.
minus-squareCethin@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·24 days agoElement is almost identical. https://element.io/
minus-squareCethin@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·24 days agoI only used it once a while ago. What doesn’t it do that Discord does that you also need?
minus-squareInFerNo@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·24 days agoScan your system for running processes 😅
minus-squareExecutive Chimp@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·24 days agoEveryone keeps recommending Revolt but I tried it last week and it’s janky as hell and the voice chat just straight up didn’t work. This wasn’t just me, too. Our whole group tried it and gave up.
minus-squarebig_slap@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·25 days agogood luck trying to get family and friends on that lol
minus-squaremsage@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·25 days agoMy mother and sister is on my homeserver. Also my SO. And my every friend. And we use Jitsi for calls during gaming or whatnot.
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·25 days agoDiscord is not really intended for “friends and families”, it’s for communities.
minus-squareknightly the Sneptaur@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·25 days agoIt’s not really for communities either, it’s for locking communities into a corporate platform.
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·25 days ago…so it’s not for communities, it’s for communities…?
minus-squareknightly the Sneptaur@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·25 days agoIt’s not for the communities, it’s for the shareholders-to-come.
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·25 days agoWho are the shareholders going to exploit then?
minus-squareknightly the Sneptaur@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·25 days agoEmployees and customers, just like every corporation ever.
minus-squareshortwavesurfer@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·25 days agoOh, i ditch family and friends who dont respect my personal data. Though its signal primary for me

It’s not for the communities, it’s for the shareholders-to-come.
Who are the shareholders going to exploit then?
Employees and customers, just like every corporation ever.
