With Discord announcing age verification globally, people are searching for alternatives. But a Discord alternative on the open social web might just look structurally quite different.

Matrix, Element?

Nope, no audio with the screen share

Jitsi, Revolt? BigBlueButton? Spacebar? You could try Matrix with Jitsi. Or Matrix with the video call beta in element, as someone else said.

I haven’t tried BBB, also Revolt is now called Stoat

This is actually a feature missing from many browsers. Maybe Discord has a workaround, not sure.

Movim.eu recently added it, but it only works on Chromium based browsers.

Even using desktop apps it seems like these services just don’t even try to stream audio. If they just made a pipewire node I could connect it up easily but they don’t even try that.
