Its looking like Microsoft is gonna buy Discord. Preferably open source, and has a big userbase, and has Windows and Linux option. (but mainly windows because i only game on windows now.)

Matrix

Not really a Discord alternative until they ship voice channels. Revolt chat is a straight up Discord clone, but it's not federated, they have really obfuscated the way to self host it, and their releases are way older than what the main server is running. Plus, it's developed by kids who don't give a crap about anything.

So, Matrix is the best chat out there, but it's not a Discord alternative.

The matrix client element has video and voice chats as beta feature. I use it and it works fine for me. I can absolutely recommend Element as a Discord alternative.

Element is the best one I've found, at least for DMs. I don't use servers and as such the way they work on Element still deeply confuses me, but if you work your way into it like with Lemmy it probably works.

Time to go back to Teamspeak or Vent? 😁

Source? Last I heard they offered 10 Billion and Discord said no.

Teamspeak

Teamspeak still under development? Damn! Haven't seen anyone mention teamspeak in a while! That was the standard back in the OG CS days.

Teamspeak 5 looks very cool but you can't selfhost it yet....
