Discord is banned in Turkiye. The reason is some data theft, blackmail, AI montage photos, etc. As usual, our government made the easiest and most illogical move :)

I am looking for an alternative platform to talk and chat with my friends. Which platforms do you recommend?

The ones I tried:

Revolt: Voice chat is not stable. They do not accept new registrations.
Matrix: Unstable overall.
TeamSpeak: ancient interface. We can still try it.
XMPP: It has an old interface like TS. Not sure if it has voice channels.
Your recommendations?

Revolt seems to be the best for now. Today they got a lot of money and I hope, they'll make their best to make it a reasonable discord alternative

Discord was based off of Slack and Microsoft Teams is a trash knockoff. All depends what you intend to use it for.

Guilded is really similar to Discord, but Roblox bought them so you need a Roblox account to use it. It's great for voice chat.

I found this awesome Article Posted on Odysee which I will suggest you all read it, It's full of mostly OpenSource Alternatives too long to list here & plus it helps out the guy in metrics

Well I would add SimpleX-Chat as well as CWTCH since they use TOR

What did you end up going with?

None. There’s no true Discord alternative.

XMPP is a standard and doesn't have mandated UIs.

If you want a voice chat, then Mumble. It's very narrow, just for games.
