Hey fedi, what are some alternatives to Discord?
- Mattermost is an alternative to Slack, not Discord
- IRC doesn’t have the necessary featureset
- Matrix is an absolute mess

What else is there? What would you recommend?

@aurynn May I ask a follow-up question:

What are the *uses* that Discord is currently filling? Chat app, sure, but some use it as a wiki and others use it as a support forum. Sometimes all of those in the same server.

I ask because I think many are hoping for a drop-in replacement and I don't think there is one.
