I would argue that the audience for Mattermost, Slack, and Zulip are pretty different from Discord.
what would be a good stack to replace discord?
teamspeak + signal(desktop client) + ???
To be a real discord replacement it needs to not be a stack. It also needs to use the server/channel model discord does, rather than rooms like signal or matrix.
Stoat or Fluxor do just that.
If you're gonna go that way I'd recommend mumble over teamspeak
matrix
Fluxer or Stoat would be your best options for a feature match ….
I wonder how long until cease and desist. Fluxer in particular is a one to one clone.
Spacebar is the same way though. Like, it's a one-to-one clone that is reverse engineering the API of the service. Their entire advertisement point is that you can take a Discord client or a Discord bot and throw it on to Spacebar without any type of modification aside from the server url
Last I checked Spacebar hardly just works. Lots of placeholder code at least for the web client. I know there is a fork of it with a web client that’s recommended. But even that for me it’s been buggy
I didn't have any issues when I tried it a few days ago, but I also never bothered getting voice chat working for it and I haven't done anything advanced like throwing my bot onto it.
Lots of companies have a very similar Ui to Discord . Like many do to X or Facebook. I can’t imagine any lawsuit comes about
+1 for Mattermost though regardless, great app been using it for a while.
