Some options:
Use Steam groups, which has almost all the same core capabilities (voice chat, push to talk, image and other sharing, etc.)
Create a teamspeak server if you have the know-how.
Create or join a TeamSpeak server.
Teamspeak needs to get off their ass and release the Teamspeak 5 server already

Has Discord itself already proven that it is >18?
I'm leaving the moment it's implemented.
Can someone help me figure out if matrix/element would work for what I need? So far it looks decent, but my main issue is figuring out integrations/bots.
Is there a way to integrate something like PluralKit there?
Matrix does have a bot API, but there is not even close to as robust an ecosystem of bots to choose from. Whatever you want is probably possible, but depending on your needs you may have to write it yourself.

Not if I read it correctly: not uploading anything (and fuck you Discord) means I won’t get invited to view adult content, right? That’s it? And we’ll all be teens forever?
Pfft. Whatever.
For now… maybe 6 months or a year and everyone might need it. That’s the way everything seems to be going.

Yeah I'm only just barely lurking on discord I have no problem leaving.
I set up a mumble server on my cloud computer, it isnt bad!
hardest part is going to be convincing people to switch over. it was so difficult to migrate people from Xbox and ps parties to discord, but it is what it is lol
One of my friends hit me with the "they already know everything about me" line on this one and literally said they'd give Discord "anything", so I don't think I'm gonna convince my group to move y'all. At least my best friend is educated enough at this point to be interested in moving so I'll still be investigating options.
I’ve already responded by deleting Discord from all my devices.
What possibly could go wrong? /s
Grok needs to faces to turn into porn.
This is the point where you need to teach a short, sharp lesson to companies by burning it to the ground.
Hmm, guess I'm gonna have to spin up a chat service if this "teen" setting is too restrictive. The only guarantee I have is that anything given for age verification is going to be hacked with 0 compensation, I will not submit either my face or my ID. My account is 9 yrs this year, will they consider an almost 10 yr old account to be that of an adult?
Is there another good chat app like this? With similar features (only really need voice/text maybe pictures. Channels that won't vanish if everyone logs off)? Haven't been on IRC since 2k2, has it advanced since then? Back in the IRC days we used Team Speak (forget if it was TS or TS2 but on linux you had 0 restrictions on number of users).
