In this video, we take an in-depth look at Matrix, an open-source collaborative communication protocol and network that provides an alternative to closed-source platforms like Discord and Guilded. We discuss how Matrix is more privacy-focused, allowing you to encrypt chat rooms and messages.

We explore how Element is a common interface for interacting with Matrix and how there are other wrappers available too. You'll learn about bridging Matrix to other networks and using bots. The video also touches on how Matrix "spaces" provide a similar function to groups or channels. Overall, Matrix provides many of the core features people expect but with a greater emphasis on privacy, customization, and open standards.

In this video, we take an in-depth look at the messaging platform Guilded and how it compares to Discord. Guilded offers many similar features to Discord such as voice chat, text channels, and the ability to create servers. However, Guilded removes many paywalls that Discord has in place. With Guilded, you get access to features like animated emotes, high-quality voice chat rooms, calendars, and scheduling features completely free - things that would require a paid subscription on Discord. Guilded also allows you to easily break voice channels into separate rooms and build out servers with different groups and categories to better organize large communities. We discuss the various channel types Guilded provides out of the box like streaming, documents, to-do lists, and forums. Also, highlight how Guilded makes it possible to share content and announcements from your server to other networks through its built-in blog posting capabilities. While Discord remains the dominant platform currently, this video makes the case that Guilded offers a very compelling free alternative that long-time Discord users should consider checking out. It removes paywalls and provides more organization options and its features have the potential to better serve large communities and groups.
