    Revolt has much better privacy policy, is open source, and therefore much more trustworthy.

    Does not have good search features. Can't search for mentions by user name, search is "per channel" not "per server", does not have any search filtering (eg. has:image, before:date, from:user, etc). Notification/mute settings will still mark a server has having an @-mention if it happens in a channel you have muted and no notifications. You can't mark this notification as "seen" unless you manage to locate the channel it happened in and mark the channel as read. Which you can't do unless you unmute the channel.

    Choose whether you want to host your own server for free or rent. Better permission system than discord.

    TeamSpeak, solely for its VoiP quality is the best alternative to Discord. People migrated to Discord to experience something more than TeamSpeak. Yes, Discord did deliver, but not with the same voice quality and stability that TeamSpeak does.

    TeamSpeak 3 is a gold standard and I would recommend it to any gamer who needs a stable VoIP app.

    Decentralized, end-to-end encrypted, and ironically works better than other services that I have used. I'm not sure if it has group calls, though.

    Jitsi is a great videoconferencing software, the only thing that's a shame is the connection is only possible either via Google or Github (Microsoft). It's not even possible to create an account directly on Jitsi. Fortunately I go through Framatalk (from Framasoft). At least I know where my data is.
