Discord is banned in Turkiye. The reason is some data theft, blackmail, AI montage photos, etc. As usual, our government made the easiest and most illogical move :)

I am looking for an alternative platform to talk and chat with my friends. Which platforms do you recommend?

The ones I tried:

  • Revolt: Voice chat is not stable. They do not accept new registrations.
  • Matrix: Unstable overall.
  • TeamSpeak: ancient interface. We can still try it.
  • XMPP: It has an old interface like TS. Not sure if it has voice channels.
  • Your recommendations?

    XMPP is a standard and doesn’t have mandated UIs.

    If you want a voice chat, then Mumble. It’s very narrow, just for games.

      My client shouldn’t be bugged when I enter a room with a long history, right? Right?

        Hey, they’re fixing that. Soon. Really. Any day now. For reals!

        (That’s the #1 thing that makes Matrix utterly unusable for me: if there’s more than like, 10 messages, it’s a game of is-it-broken-or-is-it-just-crap.)

          Tbf, they actually are. Element X and the sliding sync are ready I think. If the server and client both use it, I think you can use it today. Or maybe the whole matrix 2.0 where that’s all integrated isn’t pushed into main/master yet. Im any case, I read it was ready maybe a few weeks ago.

            Element X is still missing a lot of features, “ready” is an exaggeration I feel

            No Spaces support in particular is a dealbreaker for me

              Agreed. Element X and sliding sync don’t support sso yet, so I’ve been unable to try them :/

              Once those are added I’ll be excited to give them a shot.

              I currently use matrix and element with many bridges as my sole chat interface and it’s very slow. So I look forward to speed improvements.

    That’s news to me. Where do they not allow new accounts signing up???

      Since Discord was blocked in Russia today, everyone went to revolt, which cannot deal with so many registrations for now

        So you’re saying revolt is about to have a shitton of russian users, which means it’s about to become a pro-russian war hub. You know what they say about nazis. Allow one nazi into your bar, and he’ll invite his friends. Soon enough, your bar isn’t a bar with a few nazis in it. It’s become a nazi bar.

        Same concept, different facists.
