Signal
Has anyone here used Signal before? It’s been around longer than Discord has, and I think it’s similar to Whatsapp but it’s not owned by a big corporation like Whatsapp is. There’s no trackers, and no ads. I don’t really have a need for a program like this personally so I don’t t...

Strafe Chat
I just found out this on certain forum but it seems it's already too late to talk about it since their development appears to have been abandoned since May 2026 and their website no longer works. I don't know why or what happened but hey, at least the source code is still there o...

Chatto
Another one I found on certain forum. I can't believe it doesn't have much impact for what it offers.Just another "Discord clone" similar to Sharkord and Fluxer. It's self-hostable, it has screen sharing, plugins/custom themes and even forums. I haven't tried it yet but it sounds...

Will you ever use a vibe coded chat client?
I've been seeing lots of vibe coded chat clients being shared over on Reddit, and 9 times out of 10 these threads are often downvoted to oblivion. That got me thinking, would you ever use a chat client that was vibe coded? (Vibe coded means it was made with AI by someone telling...

Sharkord
I just came across this in a YouTube comment and I found it so interesting that I wanted to share it here.It's a self-hostable Discord alternative almost similar to Matrix (obviously without federation). It has voice chat, screen sharing and some other basic functions of Discord...

Matrix
I've heard about Matrix but I haven't had the chance to try it out yet. One of the staff over on Sonic retro mentioned that they might eventually move to Matrix from Discord, but he's no longer an admin for the site so who knows if that's going to happen. Which client do you use...

Jami
This chat client has been around since 2004, so it makes me wonder if anyone here ever used it before. I feel like it was mainly used in a professional setting, I just discovered it since I've been doing research on Discord alternatives for the forum. The latest stable releases w...

Loqa
This is another free Discord alternative that you can actually host yourself. It's also federated and has E2E encryption. Have you tried this one out yet? I'm thinking about giving it a go and see how I like it. For now Root is still my go to Discord alternative, but maybe Loqa w...

Root App
Looking for a new platform to use after Discord decided to start forcing users to upload an ID? Look no further! Though Root is not open source like other chat clients are, the devs are clear with their privacy statement and best of all you don't need to upload an ID to access NS...

Pumble
This seems to be a professional chat client, so think Microsoft Teams and not Discord. Though they do have a blog post about why people prefer to use Pumble over Discord which is interesting. I don't think Discord when I think of teams so it's kind of odd they compared their plat...

Osmium
While browsing r/Guilded (rip) I came across a thread for this chat client. Apparently it's got over 2,000 members using it already. It's privacy focused and also based in EU. You can import your Discord channels and friends list too. I haven't joined this platform yet, but I wil...

XMPP
Well, first of all, XMPP isn't a client, platform or similar BUT a protocol (and the same applies with IRC), which means anyone can make their own clients and servers based on their specifications and standards instead of being centralized.XMPP (previously Jabber) is a IM protoco...
