MODERATORS
Quit discord last year. Moved my core friend group onto Signal. Video streaming sucks but it addresses most of my other concerns.
Potential alternatives and their issues:
Guilded: owned by Roblox, faces same data/privacy concerns
Discourse: backed by venture capital, same as above
Revolt: slow development, no game streaming, otherwise decent
Matrix: high technical barrier of entry, but promising.
If you're looking to kick discord as well:
For game streaming, try Parsec (with their echo cancellation trick)
For movie/video streaming, try Hyperbeam.
Thanks for reviewing these for us. I've tried some but not all of these.
