I use signal. It's not bad
Does signal have voice chat?

It has voice and video. It's more a messaging app than something like a Discord alternative. It is secure SMS-like experience with audio and video calls.
I use it a lot and donate to Signal. It's awesome.

I use it for messaging, but I hadn't seen anything similar to discord. I was hoping you knew something I didn't. Lol.

I was being sarcastic.
I'm not sure anyone could read that as sarcasm. You gotta add a /s

IRC & Matrix
Maybe things changed but last I checked Matrix kinda sucked. I'm not sure how it's any more secure than Discord but it has worse quality for voice and video calls, so it just seems like Discord but worse, although no microtransactions is nice, although although there aren't any account decoration in the slightest either so

A tool, primarily within Linux, that can overwrite disks. I've never seen it recommended for data deletion, but I guess it makes sense.
It stands for "disk to disk" and is usually used for things like writing ISOs.
However,
shredis the usual approach.I thought it stood for DiskDump

I had just joined a discord run by the devsfor a nsfw game. I do wonder what they'll do? They haven't made any announcements as of yet but many in the chat are of course unwilling to hand over their id

A wise coworker of mine once told me that, when it comes to what Unix commands stand for, you kind of make it up as you go.

I'm sure they're very sowwy and have learned their lesson and your face and ID and personal, private browsing habits will be perfectly secure, and even the AI bot that will "monitor your habits to decide your implicit age" will be very quiet with all your sensitive personal details and not give it to anyone even if they ask very nicely for it.
Unless they offer discord $2
If they force me to verify, I'm done

Like I said, they don't actually need to. You're going to have your own silent buddy watching everything you do!

Any active Matrix spaces anyone can recommend to me? I joined a few from the public directory but they all seem dead.

Or just get bought out. Discord was supposed to be the answer to Twitch getting gobbled up. Then Microsoft gobbled Discord.
Does anyone seriously believe there's an indie third party social media site immune to a multi-million (possibly even billion) dollar buyout offer? One that won't go the way of TikTok and be legislatively forced into sale?

Federation is easy. BlueSky is federated, ffs. You think Jack Dorsey would be shy about selling his Twitter knock-off a second time?

Matrix is great for this. Fluffy chat is a client that even uses jitsi for video chats
For others who are interested:
-
I see luck with "combos"
XMPP + Mumble is a common one. The room is on XMPP, some users are in a mumble server with info in the topic.
Matrix is buggy and doesn't scale imo, it isn't a sustainable alternative. Stoat looks like a great option and there are lots of open instances.
Matrix is buggy and doesn’t scale imo,
I don't know what problems you found, but the biggest bugs I encountered in past years seem to be fixed now, at least on recent clients. (Element X is recent, and I've seen praise for FluffyChat.)
Matrix for text and Mumble for voice works well for me.

It is no more clunky than discord was a couple years ago. Setting up a server is very clunky, but the average Joe doesn’t have to do it.
Careful: Discord misuses the word "server" to mean community, so a lot of Discord users here might misunderstand and think you just said the average Joe doesn't need to set up a community. (Of course, I'm sure you actually mean the average Joe doesn't need to set up his own homeserver instance, which is true.)
Discord term Matrix term server space channel room discord.com homeserver (there are many)
