      Perfect 1:1 drop in hassle free replacement with the exact same feature set? No, there isn’t.

      Viable alternatives that aren’t too bad to learn? There are many.

          Oooh. Thanks for the tip! I just tested it and it’s great, other than being slow which is understandable. Is it internet searchable? Or a walled garden?

            I don’t know if any of them aren’t walled gardens. Everybody seems to be taking their design cues from Discord.

            It would be nice to have a setting making the server public or private, and then search engines could crawl public servers (such as tech support groups).

              Thanks for your response. It’s a shame this is a trend but perhaps fluxer will add that feature or it can be formed with one

        I agree, but one of my friends told me the above.
        Matrix is pretty good due to e2ee.

          Matrix is cool but it is definitely not an alternative to discord. Also, matrix is a protocol and not a platform! Element for example, is based on matrix but element is NOT matrix. Anyways it is not ready for prime time unfortunately and the main instance matrix.org has, uhm, questionable privacy policies
