I’m looking to avoid using Discord for voice calls… I’ve always had gripes with it over the years but I’m fed up lol.

I need a stable voice call app that is cross platform (needs to work on Windows/Android/iOS). That’s it. No screen sharing necessary.

I do my best to use Signal for texts, but my mutuals only care for so much…

    Sharkord got released last week with a very strong foundation. I have tried it with a friend who uses Discord daily and he said “this is truly a pure clone of Discord” and I can’t do more than agreeing with him.

    Despite it’s in alpha stage, I do really recommend it. Many pull requests with fast releases and the developer are very keen to make every pull request solid before releasing to the main branch.

      I’m going to try this one out. Just found it on selfh.st, and it almost seems too good to be true. I don’t care about massive online communities, I just want to talk with friends, and almost every other discord-like platform seems like they prefer the former.

      Thanks for the praise!

      EDIT: I tried it out, and realized I couldn’t open ports on my stupid ISP router, so I had to rent a VPS to actually make it work. Took me a day, because I don’t quite understand how it all works, but voice chat in v0.0.6 is what I can confirm sounds great!

      This was my original proposal, but my friend is worried about messing up their Signal acc that could render it useless (they’ve seen me brick my laptop while installing Linux Mint…)

      (They use signal on a phone, but want to use their android tablet and worried about messing up the linking device part)
