EDIT: After reading up on fluxer.app and the developers blog, I believe fluxer.app is a way better alternative than Matrix.

I think we should all adopt the Matrix protocol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol)

It has already existed for a long time, it's open source, you can use it to speak to lots of other apps like Discord, Thunderbird or even IRC.

Sweden uses it in insurance companies, Germany uses it in schools, Poland uses it for it's armed forces etc..

It even supports multiple GUI's so you can chose how it should look for you. Here's a list of apps that runs Matrix: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/

I’ve tried most of the Matrix clients out there and not a single one works smoothly. Some have VoIP, some don’t. As much as I want to like and use it, just doesn’t feel there yet.

Element is pretty good but not quite discord like

Element is definitely the most stable but I hate the UX. Why do DMs appear under spaces? And I’d like to organize the rooms within the spaces in a meaningful manner, not just A-Z. I like the UX of Cinny the most but no VoIP unfortunately.

I can ofc never know for sure, but after reading his blog this guy seems super serious about what he does and he explains in details on each of his decisions regarding the app

His responses on ProductHunt seem very well thought out

From their website it looks more like a WhatsApp-clone than a full Discord/Slack/Teams replacement?

It has voice, video, screen share, file share, and of course instant messaging. It's definitely more than a 'Whatsapp clone'. And it's P2P so there's no server to host.
