Discord defends itself against efforts to stop piracy on its platform by saying no to more invasive data collection. Even though Discord isn’t exactly known for privacy, this is a great move for its users. What are your thoughts?

    What’s a good alternative that allows easy instant message, voice and video calls, and makes it easy to group my friends by game?

      I have been using revolt, going to setup my own server once I get better lol, last 3 times have been a cluster fuck to get it working. I got mattermost working the first try but it’s a slack replacement not discord.

      Matrix?

      I only put ? Because I don’t know what you mean of grouping your friends by game.

      Like a server/channel where everyone in it is both your friend and a player of that game or a contact group that manage so you can see who is that.

        Not really no. SMS is nowhere near as versatile as a service like Discord in terms of being able to meet new people or have conversations that don’t overload unrelated but potentially interested people with notifications.
