As far as self hosted I’ve heard a lot about matrix but haven’t tried it. Maybe I’ll give it a shot this weekend.
https://matrix.org/
There’s also telegram, slack, etc if you want something else commercial.
I've convinced few of my friends to use Matrix and it has been a really nice platform and now I prefer it to Discord not only because it respects user privacy but also because it doesn't have the nitro bs
That’s great to hear. Somehow everyone and everything is on discord now and I really am not a fan of it what with all the pop ups and flashing shiny things to buy lol.
I’ll try to get my smaller groups on matrix
Yeah I still have a lot of friends that just refuse to get off Discord but at least I got a few people to move like I said
Someone replied to me that you can run a bridge and never even know. I’m definitely trying it out now. Sick of all the nitro ads.
