Hi all, I'm looking for some Discord alternatives. All I really need is the ability to do voice calls and screen shares. It can be either via DM or channels, I only need to it be able to speak with a few friends that'd be open to moving over. I've tried Matrix/Element but there doesn't seem to be a screen share function. There's Teamspeak but I don't think that's FOSS nor does it support screen shares as well. Any other options? Basically just voice calls and screen shares is all I need, I couldn't care about channels or servers or whatever other functionalities Discord has put into their app. Thanks!

    You're not wrong, but in terms of a polished alternative to discord... Telegram is a pretty solid option. It's ultimately still better than Discord.

    Personally, I hope Telegram improves their privacy guarantees, or enough time passes that the true E2EE apps can "catch up" to the feature set and quality of the clients.

    It's been doing the exact opposite and implementing more targeted advertising after several previous monetization attempts (including a cryptocurrency integration) flopped.

    Similarly the feature set is increasingly locked behind "premium" paywall.

    It's headed in no good direction if you ask me.
