You have been using software stuck in the last century I'm afraid. IRCv3 solves all of this with the clear exception of voice/video chats. Use ergo server, the lounge or gamja as a web frontend. Motd on android feels like a current messenger (but it's partly made with ai unfortunately). irc really is a credible possibility today
The problem is that voice&video and spaces/servers are necessary for how most people use these sorts of chat apps nowadays
Yes absolutely. Which means that irc is a good platform to build on.
i see, that's awesome. will try setting it up later.
do you know if push notifications work in the mobile app?
I'm not a believer of push notifications, so I leave motd open in the background, with maybe a few hundreds messages a day and it consumes 1% of my battery. I know it's not an answer, sorry 😅
i see. i also don't use push notifications, but to have my discord using friends move over i need to reach feature parity.
