@hjvt @lina Look through Linas recent (last 3 days or so) posts and the replies to them for lots of discussions on this exact topic (Discord alternatives)

@ktims @lina "I wouldn't call many/most Discord rooms [a public forum] exactly"

what a wild take. I mean, its not a public forum in the "theres only one space" way some other social media is, but i dont think you can look at 100k+ user discord guilds and say "this doesn't have the qualities of a public forum". I'd say any time a guild has a published invite link it has the same issues as a public forum, in regards to E2EE being undesireable at least.

Are there some people that only use private guilds and DMs, who could probably switch to Signal group chats quite easily? probably. But thats not the part that needs some alternative. Large community guilds with thousands to hundreds of thousands of users are.
