Matrix. Spin up a conduit server, doesn’t tale very long and it works great. Clients arent perfect but the next gen clients are available in beta (element x) and will fix a lot of the issues current gen clients have
I use Element (not X) daily, but a major frustration is that sometimes messages that you’ve received won’t show up until you restart the client. In the past a lot of “Waiting for this message, this may take a while” also appeared. In the android app there is also no search function.
Don’t get me wrong I love the concept and the app so far, but it isn’t nearly as polished as Discord is (which I also use daily)
What’s the alternative? Honestly asking, discord has been kinda shit and the spam bots recently have gotten out of control
Hey, I’m out of the loop, haven’t touched discord in a year or two.
What has gotten so shit about it?
Feature bloat. Adding lots of stuff that most people arent really asking for, tanking the performance of the app.
IRC
I miss mIRC, maybe it is time to take a look back.

What’s shit about it? Spam bots? I only hang out in private servers, including my own, so I don’t see any spam or that it doesn’t work well.
Revolt, matrix/element, you could try client modifications(ventord or better discord on desktop)
