just like we had lemmygrad.ml as an alternative for Reddit, we need to have an alternative for discord. discord’s new policies have been supressing servers and members left and right. Now there are some options that I want to present here
Guilded: Basically very nice UI, it’s completely free most nitro features of discord are completely free on Guilded. it has got more features that discord doesn’t have the only issue is that it is gaming centric and majority communities are related to gaming
Revolt: Github open source like lemmy same features as discord, good UI, there are some features like that it lacks but upcoming and promising.
slack and matrix are trash don’t fall for it
If somehow discord server gets banned, you would be thanking me for this.
thank you for reading and upvoting
This is just a service where they set up a server for you. If you are knowledgeable enough, you can do what I did and host the server with all the bridges yourself, which will get you all those features for free.
