With the recent news about discord asking for face or ID scan, what other alternatives are there that we can recommend to our less tech-savvy friends?

      Stoat is a worse disaster. None of your upvotes tried stoat.

      Jitsi, matrix, simplex and mumble.

      Matrix has client and metadata issues but holy shit is stoat unfinished trash. It’s as fraught as Tox.

        I’m fond of mumble and it’s still being updated. Stoat is still early days. Matrix is going no where slow. I wish it turned out good, but it’s just bad.

          I’ve watched stoat since riot came out publicly. It’s hopeless.

          If matrix bothers you at a protocol level then you’re looking for simplex but usually it’s the old mobile clients people hate.

      What’s been your main issues with Matrix? I’m testing it now and the setup is awful, but the actual messaging etc seems to work fine. I’d like to catch any issues I’ll have early so I don’t commit to it if I shouldn’t.

        There are a ton of detailed write ups which will do a better job than I can here. Just search matrix sucks, or why matrix sucks and you’ll find articles about the problems with is implementation, protocol and more.

          You can probably find plenty of similar results for every alternative by making a search like that.
