Will do. I need to set aside some time to see about it working with most, if not all my devices and go from there.

I did see someone else mention elsewhere that it is possible, but I don’t remember the source.

There’s also Matrix if you don’t mind tinkering around a bit too as another option.

Yeah, I just learned about that. Really unfortunate. Seems like Stoat is the next option

Dewit

Oof. That’s news to me. I’m seeing some stuff about Stoat pop up. Guess that’s what I’ll look into next

For an exact 1:1 replacement? Yeah, I do agree about that. If anyone looking for options doesn’t mind making some compromises it opens the doors quite a bit.

I shared in another reply a link to some alternatives. Guilded seems to be the closest to a 1:1 replacement for now.

My personal concern is having to repeat this again if the next proprietary platform becomes too big. My friend group has gone through google hangouts (it was a different time lol), the curse client, which became a Twitch product eventually and then Discord.

I’m at the point where I’m considering going back to web forums and things like teamspeak/ventrillo.

For a potential 1:1 Discord alternative? The one that has stood out to me is Guilded. I started looking at alternatives last year when talk about this was starting to float around and forgot about it.

Here’s a recent article with alternatives that I found in a quick search. Don’t agree with all of them personally, but I’m not the target audience for some of them.

To quote general Grevious:

“Time to abandon ship”

There’s plenty of other options out there. Discord has been enshitifying for a while now, so I don’t mind dropping it

I was starting to group together my older computers for potential recycling, but they’re now going to be repurposed after thorough testing. Not a fan of where big tech currently wants to go

What an absolute non-answer Moore provided.

Remember which companies are pulling this nonsense and boycott them going forward.
