Title: I think I found my Discord alternative

https://github.com/Sharkord/sharkord

Live demo at: https://demo.sharkord.com/

Has working voice chat, screensharing (with audio on Wayland through Firefox + this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pipewire-screenaudio/). Other features are available too but this is what I mostly care about and it's what other alternatives are struggling with from what I saw, Sharkord implements them and it's highly usable already.

Open source, self-host only and no monetary crap from the getgo (no offense Fluxer).

It's not perfect obviously this early on, but this is definitely my choice for the proper Discord alternative.

how do you think this compares to the other options out there? Stuff like Stoat for instance? I suppose that's a cloud based thing, so maybe not comparable, but still...

Matrix is too complex and problematic for anyone ...

I'm not really familiar with all the others.
