    Is there a fediverse-like equivalent alternative to Discord?

    Is there a chat app that can be self hosted, but interact with a web of other instances, and has web, mobile, and app interfaces?

    Something with dm, group, voice chat, screen sharing capabilities?

      I believe it’s called matrix. Only problem is there is no 0 percent chance I’ll convince anyone I play games with to switch off discord unless the ads hurt there frames lol.

        Thanks!

        I’ve been wanting to move off of discord for a while

        Discords been showing signs of Skype-ification for a while, and the ads seal the deal.

        I imagine the same feeling for a number of others too, I’ll be convincing my friends to switch.

        Fuck ads in my chat.

          The site has all current clients so I’d recommend checking it. As for me, I use Element X. It’s not bad, the only annoying thing is that it’s always asking me to turn on chat backup but when I do it encounters an error. But besides this, it’s alright, it does everything I need it to do.

            I appreciate the suggestion. I’ve actually never been a big fan of Discord so finding something that’s a bit different will be nice.
