sorry if self promoting isnt allowed! i had a look and couldnt find anything against it. i made this video for those looking to join matrix - please check it out if youre interested!
Getting sick of Discord? Wish you could take charge of your digital communications? There’s a good alternative, and the grass is greener on the other side…
yes there is problems for sure, that metadata issue is one i shoulda touched on in the video. i do think things can improve though, and im a very optimistic person :P
im not sure xmpp is as ready for people coming from discord to move to it, but i also recognise that as much of a pain as its been in my experience, equally as much as with matrix, things can improve!
Movim in particular is the most suited for a discord replacement in the XMPP space, as the dev implemented discord-like channels with rooms. It also has group video calls and screensharing with audio (must use a chromium browser for now to share the audio).
It is still clunky compared to Discord, but that generally applies to most of the alternatives 😅
