As a gamer, Discord is my most difficult to replace anti privacy platform. It is “the social media for gamers™” after all.
I’ve tried Matrix many times, and every server I’ve joined has felt dead. I couldn’t find many gaming centric communities there either, and absolutely none that had any activity.
Do you still use Discord or have you successfully replaced it?
We use signal. You have to know people personally to get hooked into chat rooms though. You’re not going to get a link from n00bpwner420 on the server, you’ll have to get it from Jeff, the guy you’ve gamed with for fifteen years. Our group is pretty tight though (have each other’s real names, phone numbers, send Christmas cards to each other, etc), so it works for us.
