Discord alternatives? (lemy.lol)

Discord is banned in Turkiye. The reason is some data theft, blackmail, AI montage photos, etc. As usual, our government made the easiest and most illogical move :)

I am looking for an alternative platform to talk and chat with my friends. Which platforms do you recommend?

The ones I tried:

  • Revolt: Voice chat is not stable. They do not accept new registrations.
  • Matrix: Unstable overall.
  • TeamSpeak: ancient interface. We can still try it.
  • XMPP: It has an old interface like TS. Not sure if it has voice channels.
  • Your recommendations?

Element X is still missing a lot of features, "ready" is an exaggeration I feel

No Spaces support in particular is a dealbreaker for me

Ahh, good point. I have only been "testing" matrix for a year and haven't enabled sliding sync so haven't bothered using element x yet.

Well then theyre right- one day it might get done. ๐Ÿ˜„

It will be done the same year when it's finally "year of linux"... Sad, but seems to be the case.

Agreed. Element X and sliding sync don't support sso yet, so I've been unable to try them :/

Once those are added I'll be excited to give them a shot.

I currently use matrix and element with many bridges as my sole chat interface and it's very slow. So I look forward to speed improvements.
