I’m personally on matrix.org, but it’s like with Lemmy. It’s federated so you can do as you please. I think self-hosting requires a decent amount of resources, but I haven’t looked into it all that deeply.
You can self host on a PC or VM with as little as 1GB RAM and 1 CPU core (although you’ll want closer to 4GB RAM and 2 cores if you join really large public rooms, since it takes more resources to talk to hundreds/thousands of other instances). Fairly easy to stand up too, if you use something like this ansible script.
Sadly, it does. I hate fucking discord since I’ve started using it, the quirky facade and everything. We use it as webrtc and I would gladly drop it for anything less clown shoes, but the noise cancelation just works.
Enshitification ensues.

Or Matrix. Lots of clients, all kind of meh, but it’s federated, and has e2ee.
Is just setting up a matrix.org account fine or should I like find anotherone/Selfhost?

That’s not so bad! Thanks for the info.
desperately needs screen sharing. it’s basically the only reason me and my friends use discord still.
Not only that but noise cancelation Discord use sounds better according to my friends.

Came here to ask for an alternative, so thanks. I didn’t have Revolt in my open source/federated alternatives list. But I’ve added it now.
