Some of these don't feel like real alternatives to me?

I want both the text chat parts of discord and the part where you can synchronously voice chat with screen share/camera share.

It seems like matrix is the closest thing, I hope it's better than when I tried it in 2021 or 2022

signal is the dumbest thing they couldve put in the list. its like "top 10 minecraft alternatives; number 1, microsoft Word"

Yeah, discord has so many features that not everyone uses them. Open source proponents seem to prefer text communication so they ignore most of the shortcomings

Matrix has a new spec coming that will fix everything (they say). But last I checked it's not finalised, and they have been working on it for years.
