    They also forgot (or didn’t know) to mention the new Cinny client for Matrix which is precisely made to cater to Discord users, by having a familiarly looking interface and trying to bridge Matrix and Discord concepts.

    Discord is really bad for your privacy. They collect a lot of your data. They do not even allow you to register an account under Tor or VPNs, if you try to do so, they will block you and ask you for your phone number.

      Zulip seems to be more of a Slack alternative, like Rocket.chat. The “truest” Discord-like platform seems to be Revolt.
      But both Zulip and Rocket are great platforms!
