I've been exploring alternatives to Discord and came across Matrix clients, Guilded, and Revolt.

The Matrix protocol is open-source, decentralized, federated, and can be self-hosted. However, Matrix clients seem to struggle on mobile; my friends often complain about how slow and buggy the Element client is. As for other Matrix clients, they don't seem to like the interface either.

Guilded, unfortunately, lost its charm when Roblox acquired it.

Revolt is open-source and doesn't have paid features like Discord, or so I've heard. But is that the only thing that sets it apart?

typing 2-3 words isnt something that abnormal users do. if installing something as basic as browser using CLI is hard for you, then youre better off not using computer at all. it literally takes less time and effort to open terminal and type few words (or just copy paste) and spam enter enter enter. you just need to change your perspective. downloading a deb/appimage/tar/whatever file or opening app store takes more time, clicks and effort.

edit : i use arch btw, installing librewolf seems easier on arch than debian. just type "yay librewolf" and spam enter key.
