Does anyone here use anything other than Discord for chatting? What exactly and how much?

“use” is the key word here, I’m interested in actual usage, not just the names of alternatives that I already know

Boosts are welcome. Thanks for answering

    I switched to matrix some years back, but it was too much upkeep for my non-tech family and friends, so we mass switched to Signal. I never used discord, but I’ll date myself by saying I’ve used IRC, MSN, and Skype in the before times.

      IRC is still relevant… at least for the olds.

      Most of my channels are VERY low traffic, just occasionally catching up with people I met there 20+ years ago. But, the #xkcd (Slashnet) one is pretty active if you want to jump back in and actually talk to people.

      Bouncer on the home server, hexchat on the desktop. I had some mobile client but I didn’t use it frequently enough to keep around.
