With Discord announcing age verification globally, people are searching for alternatives. But a Discord alternative on the open social web might just look structurally quite different.

I feel like I’ve explored every alternative, and there’s one feature that’s missing from everything: audio with screen share. Not a single service lets me share my system audio with the people watching my screen

Matrix, Element?

Nope, no audio with the screen share

This is actually a feature missing from many browsers. Maybe Discord has a workaround, not sure.

Movim.eu recently added it, but it only works on Chromium based browsers.

Even using desktop apps it seems like these services just don’t even try to stream audio. If they just made a pipewire node I could connect it up easily but they don’t even try that.
