There’s also Movim, which doesn’t even require an email, you can join instantly with just a username and password.

Those are extremely negative things for a community platform. Like absurdly negative.

That just means it’s going to be attacked by endless bots, impersonation, and general user confusion.

I legitimately can not think of a single stupider thing for a community platform for normal users.

Discord was originally a replacement for teamspeak/mumble and it’s how most people I actually know still use it. It was “nice” because you didn’t need to set up your own server. Using it as a replacement for irc came later. Image support in chats is nice, but I really only use it for the voip chat rooms.

I don’t know what they’re even doing. TeamSpeak/Mumble is not a replacement for Discord. There’s no separate text channels in addition to the voice ones. It’s just a VOIP program. If you move from Discord to one of those you’re either in addition fundamentally changing your way of thinking or you’re in for disappointment.

For one there’s no “public communities” as with Discord. Here are the biggest servers from mumist.eu:

That may be the case, but in Ventrilo you can page someone “[][][][][][][][][]” and it will go “page from left square bracket right square bracket left square bracket right square bracket left square bracket right square bracket…” This is a major advantage

We’re setting up our own Matrix/Element CE and mulling over the non-technical folks’ fumbling trying to figure it out. Going to have to test a lot. Stoat is promising since it has a familiar UI, but we have a large amount of mobile-only friends.

Not even looking at the non-free stuff. This is the shove we needed to finally move off that type of crap.

Forgot about XMPP until reading earlier comments. Will have to put that on the list.

The topic of the thread is about users migrating away from Discord due to privacy concerns over their ID requirements. If this doesn’t apply to you, what is your purpose commenting? To tell us all that the thing in the OP isn’t actually happening?

Your position is that:

• this can’t happen,
• people can’t leave discord because people are on discord,
• it’s impossible to learn 3 applications,

Therefore nobody would replace Discord with Teamspeak and also use some other chat program (that’s 2 programs! which is nearly as impossible as learning 3 programs!).

You’re posting this opinion in a thread about users migrating to TeamSpeak and calling me the idiot?

That’s certainly an opinion.

Your a fucking delusional idiot.

‘Your’ is the possessive form of you.

You’re is the word you’re looking for, as it is a contraction of ‘you are’ as in ‘you are an idiot’.

I said that the other day and I got back “noone is going to use that windows XP lookin shit.”

XMPP can actually do everything, chat, group video calls, and even screen sharing with the Movim client. It’s a one-stop shop.

Just use fluxer. It literally does all that. It’s basically feature parity with discord.

Other then waiting on them to finish up the native mobile app.

I have seen the conversation around ditching discord come up a few times, but this more recent one was the first time seeing Movim and it seems to have more folks post about it. Is it newer then revolt, rocket, etc?

Older, actually. Its been around since 2010, and is built upon the XMPP protocol, which is from 1999.

Movim has only recently taken the direction of becoming a Discord replacement.

That makes sense. Thanks for the heads up!

One thing that worries me a little about fluxer is this:

Finally, we can offer commercial licences to companies that want to run Fluxer internally without being bound by the AGPLv3 copyleft terms. This is enabled via a contributor-friendly CLA, but it doesn’t create a separate “enterprise edition”. It’s still the same Fluxer software everyone else uses.

• https://blog.fluxer.app/how-i-built-fluxer-a-discord-like-chat-app/

They have a CLA on contributions. So while today Fluxer is licensed as AGPLv3, tomorrow they can pull the rug and change the license, just like everyone else has been doing.

True, Mumble does have text-to-speech, but no Microsoft Sam in a roflcopter that goes soisoisoisoisoisoi

Hey, just wanted to give you an update that the Fluxer dev actually agreed to remove the CLA!

That’s the thing, for me Discord replaced Slack. I never used the voice chat feature of Discord. I had family, friend group, interest group Slack servers to chat, all was eventually moved to Discord.

Meanwhile I still use Mumble for voice chat, Discord never replaced Mumble for me, it was a replacement for chat groups, which I previously used Slack for.

That’s interesting since you were already using slack, did you just switch due to network effect or are there additional features in discord?
