@xgranade EXACTLY THAT!

#Discord is like #MicrosoftTeams a "Shitty #App that tries to be a jack of all trades, and thus is a master if none!"

#IRC, #XMPP+ #OMEMO ( #gajim & #moniclesChat), #PGP/MIME ( #deltaChat), #Zulip and #RocketChat exist for good #TextChat.
#JitsiMeet offers #Vieocalling and #ScreenSharing and #Mumble offers #VoiceChat…

Instead if one #Bloatware, multiple smaller tools can do the same aspects better.

People don't expect #Thunderbird to be a spreadsheet program nor do people expect #LibreOffice to be a good #Browser or #Firefox on it's own to be a good IDE to develop Linux Kernel Drivers!

Hot take: looking for a single silver-bullet Discord replacement is solving the wrong problem. Corporate power has pushed us towards everything-apps, but it's OK for the tool you use to communicate with other users of an open source project to look different from the tool you use to text your spouse and the tool you use to run voice chats with your gaming guilds.
