I tested out revolt and element. Out of the two element seems to be the most well rounded. What do you people use to replace discord to protect your privacy?

    There isn’t a 1:1 app for Discord imo.
    Selfhosting a teamspeak3 (ts3) server solves the voicechat.
    Signal works great for text chats especially now that you don’t need to give other end users your phone number.
    Then I would probably look at hosting a web forum for adding calendars and other planning tools. There should still be possible to show current ts3 users on that site too.
    For open source projects codeberg for code repository/issues/feedback.
    I completely understand those who use Discord for ease of management, as time taken to host the above is time taken from the actual project.

      Yea that is kinda what I have been noticing aswell. I don’t want perfect privacy like hiding my phone number with signal.

      I just want to talk with my friends, share my screen and have text channels without being harvested for data :)

      Element has all of this, the only problem I encountered is that everyones mic is suddely quite noisy as we are used to using discord’s noice suppression. I gues you have to sacrifice something for privacy. And I heard it can be quite a pain to self host, but I still have to try that out myself

      I wish I’d find something that is as easy and performant as discords in-server screen sharing/streaming.
