minus-squareOtter@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·8 months agoI assume that one was a joke, Ventrilo looks very out of date https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventrilo Revolt is nice though. Once they finish upgrading the app, it would be an easy switch I didn’t know about Fosscord (now called Spacebar it seems), it looks cool https://github.com/spacebarchat Spacebar is a free, opensource selfhostable discord-compatible chat, voice and video platform. Discord-compatible (Use all your custom clients/bots with minimal changes) Selfhostable (Server) Open Source (GitHub Organization) Configurable (Configure every aspect and limits to your needs) Decentralized (no abuse of power and doesn’t have a single point of failure) Extendable (secure and cross-platform plugin system) Themeable (cross-platform theme system with design editor) Secure (publicly audited and hosted FOSS software for transparent foundation in terms of security)
minus-squaremooncake@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·8 months agoVentrilo is what everyone used like 20 years ago it’s the OG of course it’s outdated
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-28 months agoFosscord changed to “spacebar” a while back. If you want a more Discord-like experience, try the Cinny or Comet Matrix client. And on mobile the SchildiNext Chat client. Although I really can’t recommend Matrix as a replacement at all.
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-28 months agoI just want an experience my friends aren’t too stumped by. I’ll give them a look! Thank you!
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·8 months agoMatrix authentication process is confusing and annoying. If your friends aren’t technical, they’re going to have a bad time.
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoYe, it is. I liked it but I don’t think many will. A non-paranoid mode or service for matrix would be nice
minus-squareUlrich@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoUhhhh I’m not sure, I only use the text functions
