Was there ever an "alternative to discord" that wasn't aids on during the whole ID debacle? Or are internet chats just plagued by the same ol bs no matter where you look?

I'm aware of at least one based community imposing a slowmode on Discord and urging people to move over to Matrix (typically Element as the app of choice)

I've been researching off and on. There are plenty, the issue is they basically exist on a spectrum from "like discord" on one end to "good" on the other.

If you're looking for a seamless transition to something with the same UI, your options are basically Stoat, Fluxer, Gamevox, Nerimity, or Spacebar. I have not tried any of these, but the apparent consensus is that Stoat and Fluxer are both vibecoded bloated trash from tranny faggots; Gamevox looks like the best option but it's closed-source so who knows what they're doing behind the scenes; Spacebar is unfinished; and I haven't heard a single person say a single thing about Nerimity.

On the other end of the spectrum there's stuff like SimpleX, Tox, XMPP, Wire and Delta Chat. I have only actually had time to try SimpleX and Tox so far but that's my shortlist of stuff that's neither pozzed nor glows that I don't have to host on my own hardware. There's also Columba which works over Reticulum and LoRa which sounds pretty fucking cool but I haven't had a chance to play with it. A lot of people seem to like Briar but from what I can tell it doesn't support group chats so it's not really a viable Discord alternative.

Signal is fully compromised, may have started legit but it's 100% a glow op at this point, I've elaborated on it elsewhere as have others. Probably Telegram too but I haven't looked very hard at it, that's just my gut feeling from how much heat there is on it and the types of people that gravitate towards it. Matrix is Israeli which makes it as good as Chinese, I would not use it unless there was a gun to my head. Session is fucking dead but probably wasn't that secure anyway.

I do not understand Fediverse stuff, I never looked into it because I keep hearing about pedophiles and zoophiles using it and I don't want to have to explain that to my friends. There might be viable options there that I'm unaware of.

That's everything I have notes on, goodbye.
