A lot of the features of these applications, be it Discord, or Slack, or Teams, exist because they want to lock their clients to their platforms.
Ideally, a Discord alternative server would be self-hostable and focused on providing messaging. A client could connect to multiple servers at the same time.
- johng 9mo agoI still don't get Discord. It's difficult to understand and use, and this from a tech guy. I kind of miss Teamspeak. You could chat or use voice. It worked great... Discord seems way too complicated to me.
- rbanffy 9mo agoIt's all variations on IRC. I'd think something resembling Google Hangouts for the audio/video aspects of Discord, with threaded IRC with history for the text chats would almost completely cover all use cases. A Discord-like client would join the two services under a single interface and identify the user with a service-appropriate identity.
