Discord is banned in Turkiye. The reason is some data theft, blackmail, AI montage photos, etc. As usual, our government made the easiest and most illogical move :)

I am looking for an alternative platform to talk and chat with my friends. Which platforms do you recommend?

The ones I tried:

  • Revolt: Voice chat is not stable. They do not accept new registrations.
  • Matrix: Unstable overall.
  • TeamSpeak: ancient interface. We can still try it.
  • XMPP: It has an old interface like TS. Not sure if it has voice channels.
  • Your recommendations?

XMPP is a standard and doesn't have mandated UIs.

If you want a voice chat, then Mumble. It's very narrow, just for games.

What did you end up going with?

[–] pisturko@lemy.lol 2 points 6 months ago

None. There’s no true Discord alternative.

waits for matrix fanboys to still chime in

My client shouldn't be bugged when I enter a room with a long history, right? Right?

Couldn't decrypt message

Hey, they're fixing that. Soon. Really. Any day now. For reals!

(That's the #1 thing that makes Matrix utterly unusable for me: if there's more than like, 10 messages, it's a game of is-it-broken-or-is-it-just-crap.)

Tbf, they actually are. Element X and the sliding sync are ready I think. If the server and client both use it, I think you can use it today. Or maybe the whole matrix 2.0 where that's all integrated isn't pushed into main/master yet. Im any case, I read it was ready maybe a few weeks ago.

[–] DiabolicalBird@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Element X is still missing a lot of features, "ready" is an exaggeration I feel

No Spaces support in particular is a dealbreaker for me

[–] mikemrm@lemmy.mrm.one 0 points 1 year ago

Agreed. Element X and sliding sync don't support sso yet, so I've been unable to try them :/

Once those are added I'll be excited to give them a shot.

I currently use matrix and element with many bridges as my sole chat interface and it's very slow. So I look forward to speed improvements.

Revolt: Voice chat is not stable. They do not accept new registrations.

That's news to me. Where do they not allow new accounts signing up????

[–] Serpentian@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since Discord was blocked in Russia today, everyone went to revolt, which cannot deal with so many registrations for now

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So you're saying revolt is about to have a shitton of russian users, which means it's about to become a pro-russian war hub. You know what they say about nazis. Allow one nazi into your bar, and he'll invite his friends. Soon enough, your bar isn't a bar with a few nazis in it. It's become a nazi bar.

Same concept, different facists.

[–] levzzz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, because all Russians are Nazis apparently

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Russians are now Nazis?

Someone needs to read more history, and out down the Book of Pejoratives
