Afaict, it doesn't really have any major competitors. No, if I have to self host, it's not a competitor

Using discord or self-hosting matrix/XMPP is a false dichotomy. One can join the already established servers available for either protocol.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I gave element / matrix a try recently. It's a very different use case, as (AFAICT) it does not support multi-channel rooms (or whatever you call it). The closest analogue would be WhatsApp / Telegram / Signal.

Also, multi device login is wonky as hell, took me 20 mins of repeated attempts to get it working.

I agree. I just think the reason it doesn't is because it doesn't need to exist. Seriously, 100% of its usecases are better served by something else.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Um. As a simple place for a group to chat and communicate via text?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Discord's great for that. But so many games and software are using it instead of forums or proper issue trackers now. It's a pretty serious downgrade.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah I get the downside of those. But I find it weird how so many people blast discord when it's just about the only option for simple modern text based chat groups

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is it better than Signal/WhatsApp for that?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Signal / WhatsApp are messengers, they're meant for 1 to 1 or small groups. They don't handle large groups well, for which you want things like rooms, roles, moderation, etc. Different niches.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah, so large groups specifically? Fair enough

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I run a hobby club with like 200 members in discord. Handling that in WhatsApp or signal would be such a pain.
