Stoat chat has been a good Discord alternative.
last i checked it was very difficult to run your own instance (including voice chats)
It’s worked okay for me so far as well. The mobile apps aren’t super stable yet and notifications don’t work but it works for what it is right now. I do miss the stability of discord but I’m not going back
What advantage does it have compared to Matrix?/IRC?
It mimics discord, so functional voice rooms with screen sharing, text channels, and so on..
Matrix has all that these days too
I have not seen a matrix voice channel ever in any of the servers ive seen. Also using element.
I literally use matrix voice for my d&d group every week lol, just join a server that has voice
Only thing I dislike is the lack of software based noise cancelling is a bit awkward but very managable
Join different servers then? Not sure what to tell you.
I use element and I am in many different matrix servers with voice rooms. I host my own as well, voice is done via livekit which makes connecting via MatrixRTC very easy, and is easy to setup and host.
Those same voice rooms support webcams / video, as well as screen sharing.
So voice is done via a different software not matrix?
Matrix is a protocol, its all through some other software. Livekit is just a good and easy webrtc server that you can tie in with something like synapse
So the matrix protocol doesnt have voice like I thought.
Yes, it does. Like I have said, that part of the protocol is called MatrixRTC. It is not a hack, or a mod, or third party.
I am mistaken an incorrect then. I'll have to try it out one of these days.
Fluxer as well. It has iOS and Android apps in beta too.
