So what alternative to Discord are we switching to? I'm geniunely asking because my server is an 18+ Roleplay Server and members have been asking what we're moving to... And we don't really have an answer for them.

I've been encouraging everyone to add me on Telegram so we can keep in touch, but Telegram doesn't allow it in the ToS for you make 18+ Only Groups

XMPP, IRC, Matrix or Stoat.

Teamspeak still exists

Mumble is better though

Stoat (formerly revolt) would be my vote. It's basically an open source clone of Discord. It might not have every feature you want, but the basics are all there, and the UI is pretty much indistinguishable so even non-techie friends won't mind the switch.

Does it have screen share yet?

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Not as far as I'm aware, but I could be wrong. Didn't really look into screen share.
