I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

We really want to use Matrix so bad, but none of them have every feature we need to replace discord atm.
Bingpot! Features trump objections, which is how any industry knows it doesn’t really have to listen to users all that much. Deep down, addicts really don’t care if their heroin is ethically sourced from sustainably managed small-lot producers.
Ive been keeping an eye on Movim for a discord alternative, I think spaces got added recently.
Haven’t heard of this one! Will look more into this
It’s not really designed to be a Discord replacement. It’s a messaging app/protocol that can do voice/video calls. Discord is a passive state voice / video / text channel app that was designed to create spaces for different topics. Matrix has added a similar hierarchical feature as an option, but its not the same and I don’t think it was meant to be.
We mean, overall we need something to text (plus send files), call, video/screen share and bonus for emojis, stickers and gifs. We get that discord and matrix isn’t really the same thing but the end result and use case is :/ So it would be a replacement for us
pretty much Matrix’s entire point
also implemented in pretty much every server and client; I think even Element can send files
look into e.g. #matrixrtc:continuwuity.org — sable requires a setting to show the call button in non-DM rooms
unfortunately this is the only thing I’m not confident is supported
should be available with any im.ponies-compatible client such as sable
Screen share works, although some browsers don’t capture audio
Doesn’t Matrix do everything you just listed?
