Have you considered using Telegram as an alternative to Discord?

Telegram has voice chats now and Discord is just terrible privacy wise.

Yeah, it’s just thats not really a selling point to someone on discord, aside from the file transfer.

I’ve made a couple discord bots and it’s got a solid api. Discord runs natively just fine on arch linux for me as well.

I meant Telegram isn’t an Electron app. Yeah I guess it’d take some effort to convince them but it should be worth it given how terrible Discord is. Matrix/Element has the channels problem which they are fixing by their Spaces feature but they still won’t have a voice chat feature like Discord’s (which Telegram implemented)
