honestly it’s guilded, but before the enshittification of discord mobile discord wasn’t far off and also it’s easier to get mod in guilded, though matrix being federated is interesting. and revolt i really haven’t tried but i have a account there
Whatever my friends uses I guess.
Honestly discord is where my friends are at but I would heavily prefer guided or revolt(leaning torwards revolt).
I tried matrix and honestly as my friend group’s primary server administrator/manager it’s moderation/permission system needs severe work for it to be a replacement for me. I feel bad about it cause it is a nice service, I love the bridge capability and everyone here hard pushes it but, I couldn’t use it in it’s current state.
edit: also just noticing that this post is months old, not sure how I came across it!
Discord. The user experience there is just better than all the competition regardless if you like FOSS alternatives more. It’s clean, it’s fast, it’s feature rich and works well.
but before the enshittification of discord mobile
Never understood this. The new app is a big improvement and you can now easily swap between servers, notifications, and DMs in the bottom row rather than having to scroll all the way up in your server list.
Fast? Clean? The new app is a stuttery, cluttered mess with more ad popups than a 2010 video streaming site and more framedrops than crysis. Until a few days ago I still used the oooold app and it was much better.
It has ads? I guess my adblocker works then.
My problem with it is how slow is now. It freezes up and I have to close it and reopen it constantly now otherwise I would love it because it makes sense where they moved things for mobile.
I was using the “sparkle✨️” UI. It was way better than the current UI. It had moved the server sidebar to the bottom of the screen, like a dock. I miss it. I am no longer able to use Discord one-handed. The UI update removed it from the app.
my sparkle UI didn’t change between it, it just moved everyone else to it, so I’m not sure what happend with yours
