Discord defends itself against efforts to stop piracy on its platform by saying no to more invasive data collection. Even though Discord isn’t exactly known for privacy, this is a great move for its users. What are your thoughts?

Discord sucks and nobody should use it.

What's a good alternative that allows easy instant message, voice and video calls, and makes it easy to group my friends by game?

Steam group chat? It's structured in the same way.

You can create channels for people to join with Steam?

Yeah, if you open the friends window on the bottom it should have a group chats bar with a button to create a server and then it works like discord where you can add additional text and voice channels

Steam has voice channels? 🤯
