Discord replacing the third is the saddest. It completely isn’t fit for purpose. Part of the reason you can’t find anything on Google now is that forums died, and Discord is unsearchable.
Discord just switches it’s business model yearly to clone the one thing it hasn’t killed yet. Started out to kill TS and IRC, then went on to kill the forum, then it tried to kill Steam/GOG but failed, now it’s trying to kill Patreon.
What did people use before discord?
For voice, TeamSpeak
For text chat, IRC
For forums, phpBB or any other forum software

I never used Discord but used google hangouts before switching to Telegram and Matrix (the former for family and the latter for everything else).
Does matrix have a voice/video functionality or is it strictly text chat?
It has video+audio calls but not push-to-talk and there are no “voice only”-rooms or whatever it is discord has
