Building an online community takes more than tools. But the right tool can make all the difference.

    Some of these don’t feel like real alternatives to me?

    I want both the text chat parts of discord and the part where you can synchronously voice chat with screen share/camera share.

    It seems like matrix is the closest thing, I hope it’s better than when I tried it in 2021 or 2022

      Yeah, discord has so many features that not everyone uses them. Open source proponents seem to prefer text communication so they ignore most of the shortcomings

      Matrix has a new spec coming that will fix everything (they say). But last I checked it’s not finalised, and they have been working on it for years.
