I use Discord as my primary way of talking to my patrons and clients, the majority of whom would not be ok with this (neither am I). Seems like I'm fucked then. I was already struggling financially, last thing I need is to lose my ability to communicate with the few people left who can still actually afford art.
Does anyone know of a similar system that can function like a discord channel and doesn't require any coding skill or knowledge to create an account and sign up to a server? I need to make the transition to any new format as painless as possible to ensure as many people as possible actually go through with it.
Matrix is kind of slow and clunky, but if you sign up in the default instance it doesn't take any knowledge to set up or join a channel.
Have you looked into Stoat? I've just started experimenting with it lately.
