From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Matrix really is the answer.
Not if we want sustainable chat. It runs like a blockchain under the hood & duplicates so much data.
Matrix doesn't have voice channels, probably the most important part of Discord for everyone I know. It's also built around single rooms, not servers, which just doesn't feel as good as Discord for interacting with friends.
Dang, looking into Revolt seems like it'd be more in line with your use case. I wonder if it also has separate voice chat rooms?
I'd love to be able to get people to switch to something like this.
