Back in the day before Discord, people used Teamspeak, not sure if it is still around, tho.
Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face

Would the best alternative still be something like Matrix/Element or is there something new/better out there?
The problem with these things is that it’s really hard to convince others to move to a better platform.

Teamspeak is still out there and I use it regularly. Since I’ve never cared about the posting aspect of discord they offer the exact same services.

I am never going to convince my younger family members to change platform, they literally keep discord on 24/7 with their friends and SO’s and keep lobbies open around the clock to wander in and play games and stream and thrive in the social space.
It’s horrifically un-secure and I hate so much about the whole thing from a safety standpoint.
I will likely kill my main account and delete all my personal data and messages, for whatever good that will do, and just make a dummy account to received messages and say hi to family. Same as I did with facebook and other social media.

Tom from MySpace needs to have a second coming.

Dark Tom needs to rise to kick the internet’s ass and create a new, old internet that has no algorithms or bots.
I guess we would need some way to confirm the users aren’t AI or bad actors so we would need to use kind of face reco- oh, I see. We’re trapped in hell.

SpaceHey exists, but just like the old internet moderation is a problem in that site (lots of harassing)

He’d need to come up with something new. MySpace was sold some years ago.
