Hey everyone, can any peeps recommend Discord (or just messaging in general) alternatives?

@lixou I was genuinely thinking of planning out my own platform but I'm not smart enough to do it all myself.
I'd love to start a project like that but I'd need a huge helping force, I don't know much in this area, only really some.
Meanwhile, I'm informing the Arikoto Discord that I plan to move the community out before March (I dunno where) and also apologising for the suddenness.
If you have a community already and don't need some of the newer bells and whistles, IRC is _still_ around. Come say hi at Libera.chat ##fediverse.lounge
Depends - on IRC, msgs are ephemeral, there's no retention unless you have a persistent client open to receive em. No file transfer, no voice. In some ways an IRC channel and a bulletin board for the persistant stuff are all you need.

Don't discount a return to an old BBS style forum platform. NodeBB is one I've played around with. Discourse, myBB etc.

@tezoatlipoca @lixou In the end, it all depends on what the communities I'm moving out all need.
The some peeps on the Discord for my OS project are talking with me about other alternatives too.

Hey everyone, can any peeps recommend Discord (or just messaging in general) alternatives?
Or maybe I should just switch to IRC, who knows?
Preferably something that works on iOS and macOS as well as the web.
For context:
https://mastodon.social/@verge/116041069446538092@mrmasterkeyboard nobody mentioned revolt? Really?
IRC and XMPP are just real time chatting platforms, discord has more functionality, especially related to voice chat

@mrmasterkeyboard I used you just want a real time chat program lol
there are plenty and I'm trying out XMPP, and I quite like it
though matrix is probably better as it is more modern

@jeff IRC is peak I should just move there entirely.
It may be old, but it still works.
