I would like discord but in fediverse. This one i am actually using and even there are foss alternative like nextcloud talk i would like something that is at least as reliable as discord for calls
@Fabrik872
Is that not what Matrix is? I havenβt been to really understand Matrix so maybe Iβm wrong.

Yes, Matrix is the closest I've seen to Discord that is federated. However, it doesn't use ActivityPub I believe
Is ActivityPub a good fit for chat? Trying to make every kind of interaction fit into a single protocol sounds like a recipe for a bad protocol.
well, yeah, because it's private messaging, it requires encryption and things like that. Really, fediverse instances should ideally incorporate matrix chat in some way or another, but that's not exactly trivial.
ActivityPub is not designed for real time chat and communication, I believe.
There's Matrix and XMPP protocol, but upcoming MLS protocol (which backed Mozilla, The Matrix.org Foundation, even Meta) looks more complete, feature-wise.
He meamtwd calling, calling is lacking
