Discord is banned in Turkiye. The reason is some data theft, blackmail, AI montage photos, etc. As usual, our government made the easiest and most illogical move :)

I am looking for an alternative platform to talk and chat with my friends. Which platforms do you recommend?

The ones I tried:

  • Revolt: Voice chat is not stable. They do not accept new registrations.
  • Matrix: Unstable overall.
  • TeamSpeak: ancient interface. We can still try it.
  • XMPP: It has an old interface like TS. Not sure if it has voice channels.
  • Your recommendations?

For now, Discord users in Türkiye face limited access to the platform, though it remains unclear whether a full ban will be implemented in the coming days.

Still working for me on hotel wifi.

Edit: it won’t launch on my laptop now. Stuck trying to update. Still works on my phone.

Some groups have allegedly used the “901” tag in their usernames to identify themselves, raising alarms among officials and parents alike

What does this mean? I can't seem to find info on what a 901 tag even is.
