With the recent news about discord asking for face or ID scan, what other alternatives are there that we can recommend to our less tech-savvy friends?

    Stoat is a worse disaster. None of your upvotes tried stoat.

    Jitsi, matrix, simplex and mumble.

    Matrix has client and metadata issues but holy shit is stoat unfinished trash. It’s as fraught as Tox.

      I’m fond of mumble and it’s still being updated. Stoat is still early days. Matrix is going no where slow. I wish it turned out good, but it’s just bad.

        I’ve watched stoat since riot came out publicly. It’s hopeless.

        If matrix bothers you at a protocol level then you’re looking for simplex but usually it’s the old mobile clients people hate.
