Alternatives to Discord Anonymous 10/10/2025 (Fri) 12:56:27 No. 24369

Since everyone hates discord let's share some alternatives. Of course discord compresses many functions and as such you'd need to use differente apps. For one on one chats, I think XMPP is cool but I have yet to convince my friends to use it. Matrix and telegram are too close to discord imho For short-term group chats, I have self-hosted mumble a couple times and it's pretty fun. There's also jitsi for giving you the rare screensharing. I haven't used much IRC because I don't like sitting on the computer. For long-term group chats of course there's forums and imageboards. Do you know any others?

also a tip for others: If you want people to move from discord, you shouldn't vomit 10 alternatives at once. It sounds like you don't actually use any of them.

>>24369 Mumble

>>24456 Mumble was already mentioned tho and yes it is a great teamspeak clone. But unlike teamspeak it is very hard to find public servers, so you will probably have to self-host (which isn't a problem for me) It also forces you to configure a microphone on first opening, which is great in my opinion.

XMPP and IRCv3

>discord compresses many functions and as such you'd need to use differente apps this discord makes people used to have everything in one app, which is terrible and half the reason why discord is so bad. Skype and IRC should have never been mixed together

>>24487 Discord is literally just a GUI for XMPP, how hard is it for some team of tards to just make discord but through i2p or something with copypaste pajeetcode? that's literally all it would take and thats all it would have taken for the past ten years

>>24555 but XMPP already has a GUI, unless you want to recreate servers, but again I think that's a terrible idea

>>24555 it's not putting a text chat together with voice and video that's the hard part, there are plenty of alternatives that already do this the problem is in trying to integrate all the other stupid quirky shit discord has into one of those other applications that has prevented anything from actually competing against it discord continues to provide a "free" as in free beer platform that draws users in, an api that lets users write channel bots which I guess is versatile otherwise nobody would give a shit, a persistent chat log for all fhe "FOMO" fags (which as far as I can tell never expires), then you have the media embedding, and shit I guess you pay for like badges and custom emotes or whatever the fuck it's just little insignificant shit that keeps fags hookd on discord because it's eye candy
