@c_merriweather@social.linux.pizza Jitsi meet is a Zoom replace type thing so there's that.
Although it isn't really a space with chat rooms and such, you could set up a vdo.ninja room. You can save how everyone's video displays and no one even has to sign up for anything. It's all just URL's. You could easily set up multiple video feeds and switch between them if you have different maps or images to show .
@calvin The groups I am in are focused around particular ttrpgs, or game campaigns. I'm not there for social commentary.

Don't let others keep you on a service that doesn't care about you.
@Mrfunkedude New side job: setting up and maintaining Discord-equivalent services for local people who need them.

@c_merriweather@social.linux.pizza oh sorry maybe I misunderstood your question. I just figured I'd suggest some alternatives to Discord, at least regarding video conferencing stuff.

@c_merriweather @calvin there's roll20.net, foundry vtt, talespire... literally a dozen different options at whatever price you can manage.

@Mrfunkedude Failed to even be able to log in to either Discord or Matrix, but then I was rejected from Eton prep school as too stupid also! There may be some kind of message here.

@c_merriweather Honestly, I don't think there is a direct 1 to 1 replacement. You can find chat's that have some of the features, but no one has all of them.
I prefer Matrix.org because that's what I have the most experience in. It lacks good admin tools and there can be an on-boarding difficulty for some, but mostly it does the job that I need it to.
Of course your mileage may vary.
@Mrfunkedude @c_merriweather i switched to stoat.chat. i need nothing fancy, just group voicechat though..

@Mrfunkedude TIL that discord has the concept of "friends".
