Discord ID? Alternatives to Discord - a list - Hackers - Feb 10, 2026
https://taggart-tech.com/discord-alternatives/
Found this list of alternatives to Discord with pros & cons for each.

Some are obviously a bit different than Discord, but wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the list above.
I think Slack might still be one of my favorites, but I use it in private settings for work and projects or collaborations. Not sure if it's a true Discord replacement, but there's little that it can't do with the addons and API layer.

Signal looks interesting. Nice interface and looks very simple to use.

The ID requirement is so gay. IPO then grab a bunch of user data to sell off to increase shareholder value. Anyone think they will backtrack on this?

Really great post! I do think I could see Slack or another company similar pivot to targeting this audience.

What's with all the drama around discord?
I saw they were going to add ID verification on public servers, but is there more than that?

It's mainly over that specifically, and the fact that Discord just had a data breach in October of 2025, with literally exactly that, government IDs being leaked. The same IDs they don't keep copies of.

Some friends of mine recognize using Signal, seems promising.

I got the memo for Verifying Discord with ID which I won't anyway, I only chat with few persons on there not in any group. I will just switch to other chatting platforms.
