Discord keeps walking into rakes, but TeamSpeak is thriving after 'incredible surge of new users' (www.pcgamer.com)

Been on IRC for like 3-decades and is where I get my media content, mostly. Highly recommended if you give zero shits about fancy text!

Teamspeak is not a good replacement lol

We’re setting up our own Matrix/Element CE and mulling over the non-technical folks’ fumbling trying to figure it out. Going to have to test a lot. Stoat is promising since it has a familiar UI, but we have a large amount of mobile-only friends.

Not even looking at the non-free stuff. This is the shove we needed to finally move off that type of crap.

Forgot about XMPP until reading earlier comments. Will have to put that on the list.

Matrix is actively user hostile. It’s no fun to use at all.

XMPP is an insecure mess, even if you try to bolt on the weird encryption layer

Commet might be more helpful there than Element, as it tries to replicate Discord's UI and UX, making for an easier transition.
