Discord has been using ML to determine the gender and age of some of its users

   The beginning of enshitification of discord (while 100% expected) for some reason hits harder then any other service I've used throughout all these years. It has entirely replaced social media for me. It just felt more organic to me then anything else.

   So... since I've heard about the ads coming to discord, and I have looked into alternatives.

   They do exist, in varying quality, and there are programs for some of them that make a "bridge" from a discord server to your new platform. It's possible to have your cake and eat it to.

   Matrix looks really close, but it needs ALOT of love. I have high hopes for matrix because of the idea of it. Perhaps my lackluster experience was because I didn't choose the best client available. I'm still trying new things here.

   Revolt is the more complete product as of today.

   Spacebar I have yet to try but it's on my radar.

   https://github.com/spacebarchat

   I just wanted to see if anyone else had other recommendations for me to try. I really would appreciate help here. Hopefully something open source and self hosted so I can stop migrating and sink some roots in somewhere.

4. Element

   3 622 11,816 10.0 TypeScript

   A glossy Matrix collaboration client for the web.

   

   I'm just happy they resisted the buyout by Microsoft.

   > Matrix looks really close, but it needs ALOT of love.

   Matrix is just a protocol. Clients competing with Discord would be things like Element. https://element.io/

   It's no Discord (which itself is no WLM, by the way), but I sorely hope it or something open source gets there one day.

5. Tox

   4 57 8,752 0.0 C

   The future of online communications.

   

   I'm a big fan of Matrix, and run a small homeserver for my family in friends. But if you really want to explore the frontiers peer to peer seems really intriguing because you don't need any server. https://tox.chat/ just to name one.

6. mikoto

   5 8 119 8.9 TypeScript

   The Mikoto Monorepo (by mikotoIO)

   

   Been following Mikoto[https://github.com/mikotoIO/mikoto] which seems like a Discord replacement on steroids.

7. Miracode

   6 4 967 7.0 Python

   A sharp, readable, vector-y version of Monocraft, the programming font based on Minecraft

   

   Later replies say it's Miracode; https://github.com/IdreesInc/Miracode
