Discord is making a huge change that will enact age restrictions for all accounts until users verify their age with ID or face scans.

Slack is basically the same thing as a platform

Slack needs payment to have group calls. Also it would be nice to move something open and ideally something self-hosted.

Matrix is no where near the level of discord, if all you need is a chat app than ya sure, simplex or Matrix work great. If you want feature parity… Definitely not either of those two, as they are just glorified sms/group text apps.

Plus there’s the fact that Matrix is heavily user unfriendly

Well don’t downvote the comment that answered your question. If you’re looking for something that’s exactly exactly exactly Z, then the answer will only ever be Z

You’re getting downvoted because your answer was bad. Slack isn’t “not exactly like discord”, slack is not even remotely close to a replacement for discord unless you are only considering text based lobbies. Slack is built around enterprise IM as a paid service, discord is built around gaming voice chat as a free service.

If someone says that they want to replace their Tesla and you offer a golf cart to them while saying, “they’re both electric, so same difference”, don’t be surprised by others finding that unhelpful.

Believe it or not. I did not downvote you. Seems crazy but there are other people here and promoting Slack seems to be a not so popular opinion.

Slack requires payment for messages to persist over 90 days. We used to use Slack for an organization I’m part of. We moved to Discord when that was introduced which is kinda funny.
