💬 Free-chat friendly community-chat alternatives
As Big Tech companies have continued to mass censor public social media platforms and used their algorithms to manipulate the posts that users see, the popularity of community chat apps has soared. These alternatives provide many of the same community chat features as Discord without the censorship. Many also use privacy-preserving technology that ensures that only you and the people you’re chatting with can see the conversations.
