There isn't really any other option that is federated, has video calls and screensharing, and offers encryption besides Matrix/Element, which I've personally had a lot of usability problems with, and it's encryption has a concerning metadata issue and thus I don't really recommend it.

Not sure where a user would need admin help with Movim, it's pretty slick and user-friendly. I consider it the best working alternative that's using a proven back-end technology that we currently have available.

All other centralized alternative Discord clones on the market are generally still in an alpha or beta-stage, don't offer encryption at all, and use unproven back-ends that may not be able to scale to a large user-base. Where as the Movim client has been in development since 2010, allows for federation (like lemmy/piefed) to scale up, and is ready to use in the here and now.

Aren't you tired of spouting your nonsense?

You're harmful to the community dude..
You should encourage people to join either ones, because in the end, both will end up using MLS.
