    Not being libre & opensource as well as not being decentralised and federalized it’s not really an option.

    The best discord like experiences that are right now are:

    A) https://element.io/ which uses the matrix protocol

    B) https://gajim.org/ (Discord like UI not released yet) that uses the XMPP protocol

      Genuinely clueless, is XMPP relevant anymore? I consider myself reasonably technical, and when it comes to chat, here’s what comes to mind:

      1. IRC
      2. Slack / Zulip / Mattermost
      3. Discord
      4. Matrix / Element

      If I was to use Gajim, who would I talk to? e.g any communities or projects

        The only thing that makes matrix more relevant than XMPP is that matrix has the element client and that matrix has a lot of momentum. But XMPP is a pretty great protocol that just needs better clients, branding and community stuff.

        Here is a video displaying the upcoming discord/slack-like UI for Gajim 1.4

        But yeah, matrix/element is the most relevant thing right now.

        (IRC is completely dead as a viable option for most people I think, only hardcore people use it)
