  I dunno. There’s probably a discord group that discussed it but you are not in it so I guess you won’t ever know.

  Element. If you are missing something, talk to all those motivated people doing Discord bots or whatever, they can contribute to Element/Matrix. And it’s actually open source, they keep their contributions, contrary to all the work they have done for Discord for free.

  Forums. Lemmy. Group Chats.

  What does discord do that these dont bar create a barrier for use?

    Voice chat and screen sharing

      I’ve got that in my group chats in Telegram but since we should all be moving to FOSS and decentralization, have you considered setting up Jitsi? It integrates with Matrix too. That already pretty much gets you most discord functionality that people care about.

      Like a phone call? Group voice chats? I would have thought tis was built into consoles and services, seems odd that Twitch doesnt have this feature.

      I have only ever seen it used as a terrible forum clone where discussion sucks and security is poor.

        Yep, or even a watch party (group voice chat with someone sharing his screen). You can’t do that on forums or lemmy.

        Not sure about twitch, I only use that to watch stream, never to do streams.

    Unlike Forums discord exists.

  IRC is basically all the chat portions of discord.

    If you think everyone using the Discord/Slack/Mattermost/Rocketchat/… generation of chat with inline image display and all those features is ever going to switch to IRC at this point you are simply delusional.

      Oh, I don’t expect it to happen, I’m just pointing out that it still exists and takes care of some of that functionality. I don’t think I’ve ever seen gifs, videos, or screen sharing implemented in IRC.

    Better though because you don’t need an account, and can gain a lot of anonymity via an eggdrop or vpshell etc.
