Discord defends itself against efforts to stop piracy on its platform by saying no to more invasive data collection. Even though Discord isn’t exactly known for privacy, this is a great move for its users. What are your thoughts?

What’s a good alternative that allows easy instant message, voice and video calls, and makes it easy to group my friends by game?
I have been using revolt, going to setup my own server once I get better lol, last 3 times have been a cluster fuck to get it working. I got mattermost working the first try but it’s a slack replacement not discord.
I get that they have different target user base, but honestly, what’s the difference?
Roles and permissions. Slack and mattermost is just allowed and disallowed to each channel.
Steam group chat? It’s structured in the same way.
You can create channels for people to join with Steam?
Yeah, if you open the friends window on the bottom it should have a group chats bar with a button to create a server and then it works like discord where you can add additional text and voice channels
Steam has voice channels? 🤯
Idk if its changed, but you cant edit or delete messaged un steam. That was a huge turn off for me
Matrix?
I only put ? Because I don’t know what you mean of grouping your friends by game.
Like a server/channel where everyone in it is both your friend and a player of that game or a contact group that manage so you can see who is that.
There really isn’t one, that’s why Discord is so widely used.
Your phone.
Not really no. SMS is nowhere near as versatile as a service like Discord in terms of being able to meet new people or have conversations that don’t overload unrelated but potentially interested people with notifications.
Discord is on my phone 😭
