Genzedong needs to pre-create an alternative server for discord (lemmygrad.ml)

just like we had lemmygrad.ml as an alternative for Reddit, we need to have an alternative for discord. discord's new policies have been supressing servers and members left and right. Now there are some options that I want to present here

Guilded: Basically very nice UI, it's completely free most nitro features of discord are completely free on Guilded. it has got more features that discord doesn't have the only issue is that it is gaming centric and majority communities are related to gaming

Revolt: Github open source like lemmy same features as discord, good UI, there are some features like that it lacks but upcoming and promising.

slack and matrix are trash don't fall for it

If somehow discord server gets banned, you would be thanking me for this.

thank you for reading and upvoting

Matrix has baked in encryption, can be self hosted and has a large team of developers behind it so it is least likely to not be vapourware. The clients are not great but that's a fine compromise. With their newly released rust SDK some might become faster. But I guess it's trash because you can't spam emotes in it.

Matrix is slow af
Matrix has less features than aforementioned alternatives, it doesn't even have proper media sharing code, all embeds stay as it is
UI is bad, comparatively
matrix also asks for money for additional features which is not the case for guilded and revolt
matrix is more like telegram chat than an actual server

What features are paywalled? Afaik synapse is completely free and open source and so is element and a ton of other clients.

iirc there are some features you will get after buying element home subscription. not to mention matrix also crashes sometimes and quite often you might have to wait for a long time

Yeah, it is often slower than Discord. The reason for this is that it's decentralized and encrypted. It's slow because it's secure. I'd rather lose a few minutes of time than have the US government spy on me.
