State of the Discord - A Lesson (r/selfhosted) (www.reddit.com)

TLDR: The r/selfhosted subreddit has a Discord server. The owner's account got hacked leaving the server in a precarious state. They submitted a support ticket, but Discord has not taken action in weeks and probably won't at all, so they are considering starting a new Discord server.

Stoat chat has been a good Discord alternative.

It’s worked okay for me so far as well. The mobile apps aren’t super stable yet and notifications don’t work but it works for what it is right now. I do miss the stability of discord but I’m not going back

last i checked it was very difficult to run your own instance (including voice chats)

What advantage does it have compared to Matrix?/IRC?

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It mimics discord, so functional voice rooms with screen sharing, text channels, and so on..

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Matrix has all that these days too

I have not seen a matrix voice channel ever in any of the servers ive seen. Also using element.

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Join different servers then? Not sure what to tell you.

I use element and I am in many different matrix servers with voice rooms. I host my own as well, voice is done via livekit which makes connecting via MatrixRTC very easy, and is easy to setup and host.

Those same voice rooms support webcams / video, as well as screen sharing.

So voice is done via a different software not matrix?
