Its looking like Microsoft is gonna buy Discord. Preferably open source, and has a big userbase, and has Windows and Linux option. (but mainly windows because i only game on windows now.)

    The matrix client element has video and voice chats as beta feature. I use it and it works fine for me. I can absolutely recommend Element as a Discord alternative.

      Element is the best one I’ve found, at least for DMs. I don’t use servers and as such the way they work on Element still deeply confuses me, but if you work your way into it like with Lemmy it probably works.

      Won’t take that long anymore until it’s in the official specs and other clients integrate it I guess, too

      Wait… can I self-host this feature right now? How easy is it? I would love to have an offline Discord alternative for LAN Parties.

      HOLY SHIT ! YES!! I just turned the beta feature on from Settings, Experimental. Freaking awesome, thank you for the heads up!

          Just to be sure: the beta is desktop only, right? I haven’t seen it on the android app.
