What Are Some Good Alternatives to Discord?

Asked by ChillNinja42
With Discord's upcoming IPO, there's a concern that the free version might change significantly. I'm looking for alternatives that offer similar features like text and voice chat, persistent threads, and file sharing. I've heard about options like Element and Pumble, but I'm curious if anyone has hands-on experience with these or other recommendations. Teams and Workspace just don't cut it for me. Thanks for any insights!

You might want to check out Element and Pumble; they have features like persistent chats and file sharing. However, keep in mind that they don't quite capture the same community feel as Discord, but they're still solid options.

Slack could be worth looking into! It's pretty user-friendly and has some nice features. Just a heads-up though, some users find limitations in the free tier. I'd suggest trying it out first to see if it meets your needs. Replies:[{"author":"CuriousCat55","replyText":"What are some of the downsides of the free plan?
