  Was about to say this, how nice of discord to give people time to migrate to another service

    The thing that’s insane to me is that most of the alternatives have screen sharing with working audio on the back burner, while I can tell you that the first one to get it working will be my go to. Hopefully with this extra cushion, one of them can get it working it’s the only thing discord has over its competitors other than general stability related things.

      element call has screen sharing with audio. afaik joining a call does not even require registration, but that could depend on the server

        If that is the video conferencing in the desktop then I can tell you that that has not been my experience with it both on windows and w/ Wayland

      Screen sharing is my deal breaker/maker. If they don’t have it I can’t switch. Hopefully they can get something going in 6 months

    This is my take. Fluxer and Root are the top two for my group, but they need more time in the oven(hell, everything does).

    So far I’ve uninstalled discord on my devices and I’m using it via the web browser only in a container tab, until my group switches over to something else.

    Can’t fucking wait to delete my account.

      Matrix seems pretty mature, and has screen sharing with audio?

        Matrix the protocol, yeah, is fine. The clients? Only Element Classic seems to work decently on Android, the newer one sucks. The other half dozen clients are atrocious. On desktop Element is fine, but I was experiencing extreme latency, however that was during the initial “rush” to find a Discord alternative a week or so ago.

        But, my biggest gripe is trying to explain what Matrix is to other people. Then have to explain what federation is, then the fediverse. Then I get dumb questions of “Why do I need to create a Matrix account to use Element? Can’t I just use a Element account?” which either means they didn’t understand my previous explanation or they weren’t paying attention.

        With Fluxer or Root or whatever, I can say “Go make an account on Fluxer.app and then go use the web version until the app is released” and everyone understands that just fine.

      Does screen sharing works on the web browser? I might do discord in a container in a Firefox fork if it does work well.

        No idea, I never used screen sharing on Discord unless it was a very rare occasion to share my view when playing a specific game. So, I’m not the right person to ask…sorry
