With the recent news about discord asking for face or ID scan, what other alternatives are there that we can recommend to our less tech-savvy friends?

In another post I saw last night someone mentioned https://stoat.chat/ - I know nothing about it, but at first glance it looks okay. No time to play with it yet, tho.

I played around with it a little while ago and it seems like a really strong contender to me. Open source, and basically clones the entire Discord UX, so your less technical friends will have a very easy adjustment. You can create servers and rooms like you'd expect, there's voice chat, private messaging, etc.

Formerly known as Revolt.

It looks like a strong contender to me.

I tried signing up around noon today and got the invite link (expired) hours later, looks like they can't handle the influx from discord leavers 😅 (somehow both a good and a bad sign I guess)
