Matrix? That's the open source and federated equivalent to discord. And it's end-to-end encrypted.

+1 for matrix

Matrix is very good and flexible. If you need something that is interface-compatible with Discord, there is: https://revolt.chat/

Don't they say that they also collect some amount of data in their Google Play page? Asking just because it's said that the problem with Discord is about privacy..

Just the small data for troubleshooting and some phone model metrics (e.g. your Android version). Nothing any suspicious

How can we know that is true?

[–] ShroOmeric 2 points 1 year ago

Oh ok, good to know! ✌️

Matrix is the usual suggestion. I've never used voice chat on it or the clients for it like Element though so I can't speak to how well it works if you need that function in Discord.

You answer is Matrix, it has a learning curve but is robust.

Revolt is an open source client with a similar feel, but streaming doesn’t seem to work yet.

How good is about privacy compared to Discord?

[–] cevn 4 points 1 year ago

If you host it yourself, the privacy becomes your problem, so I would say much better.
