Discord was already succumbing to enshitification. Now with their intention to be owned by Wall Street, that trajectory will certainly accelerate at warp speed once the change of hands happens.

Anyone already get ahead of this and find a solid alternative?

Right now I’m on the fence between Element for Matrix, and Revolt. Both seem to have their pros and cons and I can’t find a clear “winner”.

    Way too few mentions of Jitsi.

    I use it with friends, it has good server config, and I’m pushing it on businesses.

        It’s voice and video calling with chat and screensharing. I intend to use it for a language school. It’s extendable, for instance you can also self-host a whiteboard, where everyone can draw. You can see the drawing in real time, which is good for asian languages, where direction of the stroke is important.

        Free, open-source, packaged in Debian, runs without issues, used it with friends for multi-hour voice chats during gaming nights.

        On the server you can configure things like FPS for screenshare. I have yet to adjust that and try streaming video/game through it.
