Now that people have moved from reddit to lemmy I'm glad to be using more FOSS software. Now all that's left is discord but I can't find a good replacement.

If you get Beeper.com which is based on Matrix.org you can have both: FOSS and chatting with your friends on Discord.

Isn't it subscription based?

Thought so too, but they actually don't charge anything. Wonder if I'm the product then.

https://blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-is-now-free Turns out they are going to provide a "Plus" version with extra features for paying customers. So, its not bad I guess!

Interesting. Never heard of Beeper. Looks like they even have a client for desktops. Does it also cover (video) calls and screen sharing for Discord and/or Signal?
