Have you considered using Telegram as an alternative to Discord?

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

Yeah but why not Element, Rocket.chat, self-hosted mumble or jitsi meet?

Because a lot of Discord users won’t consider them good alternatives to it. Element is adding a feature equivalent to channels in Discord but it doesn’t have Discord’s voice chat.

What makes Telegram a better alternative than Element? In my experience they both seem pretty similar except Element can be self-hosted for more privacy and Telegram has more bells and whistles. Both seem like imperfect alternatives for Discord with its multiple voice channels, bots, emotes, etc.

The feature I linked in the post is the main reason.
