Nobody ever lists any alternatives. I've used some of the most popular and they are halfway to discord's levels in terms of tech and 1% the way in user base.

- kuschku 6y ago> they are halfway to discord's levels in terms of tech and 1% the way in user base. We're comparing 20 unpaid volunteers (IRC, Mumble), a dozen employees of a small business (Teamspeak) to a several million dollar large VC funded team able to run at a loss (Matrix) and a couple billion dollar large VC funded team able to give away stuff they don't even have (Discord). You can't compete with free beer. Especially not as a bunch of unpaid volunteers. In the end, the VC money will dry up and these companies will end, as they'll either have to increase prices, reduce services or sell out their users.
