What's the best alternative software to gear up to transition to? I'm pretty pissed because they finally got decent integration for PS5. I was playing Space Marines with a couple friends, one of whom is playing on PC, so we've been able to crossplay with voice chat.
XMPP, but unironically
Any suggestions for an XMPP client?
In an ideal world I want something that has Discord's "drop-in" chats where you don't need to "start a call" anywhere, you just join in. My biggest gripe with Element's voice chat
Depends on your platform. I don't know about drop in calls, tho.

Possible alternatives:
eylenburg's Chat/IM Comparions
Simplex is cool, but it's more of a Signal/SMS replacement than Matrix. It doesn't really do rooms as you might want, and discovery of peers is pretty manual.
Cool tech, just not a Discord replacement.
Could we add Zulip? I think it even has IRC integration if I’m not mistaken.

Maybe Revolt or Matrix?
I see everyone suggesting revolt but what about teamspeak?
XMPP, IRC....
You can try matrix if you're a masochist.
Revolt chat
