Is there a fediverse alternative for Messenger? Because I currently partially use Discord as a non-Meta alternative.

Matrix is fanstastic

Matrix voice and video chat is sadly under-equipped for the only kind of thing I want (team gaming and screen share). They are working on moving to a new realtime media transport but until it manifests I can't see it as an alternative. I've read about Revolt and some others but I don't see anything that seems capable. Happy to be corrected on this!

EDIT: it looks like Element Call is more or less ready, might try setting up a server this weekend.

It has been absolutely seamless with zero issues for me, but I’m a relatively recent adopter with low traffic just for friends.

Only problem is that its only available in the official element app but thats not a dealbreaker for me.

Signal is ok. SimpleX theoretically has better privacy guarantees (metadata privacy, more decentralized). Matrix is ok for communities; I think it exposes a lot of metadata though (who you are talking to, not what you're talking about).

Stoat has been recommended a lot, and it appears to be open source.
