      Discord is designed and implemented better than all of the other options I’ve used. I think I’ve used 10 of them.

          There are many small details that make Discord better, possibly because their focus is on making multi-modal communication as rich as possible. There are many things they can improve upon but, they’re miles ahead of the competition right now.

            Zulip is really neat. Telegram is easy to set up and has a native desktop client and scales well. Self-hosted XMPP is nice, as as the name says, it’s extensible. Mumble has a mid interface but great performance and privacy.

        just note that actually very few of them have native apps so… and mind digital sovereignty and privacy. also discord doesn’t work well outside of chromium, contributing to this dreadful web monopolization.
