Yes, but it has proprietary servers and registration with phone number.
Not the best solution.

You're worried about proprietary software, but running XP?

>>62221531
I'm asking for a friend

>>62221611
Your friend is worried about proprietary software, but runs XP?

>>62221668
My friend isn't worried, it's me who's worried. Still, he's not going to stop on using XP.

>>62221725
Why do you care if you friends run proprietary software?

>>62221725
I know this is /g/, but if your friend doesn't give a shit, don't go full Stallman on him. If he's using Discord, it's probably because the people he wants to talk with are on Discord, and a chat client used by only you and RMS won't help with that.

>>62221803
He used to use Skype, but now it's shit for him.
He doesn't use anything, not even Discord.

>>62221891
Just call him on the phone lol

>>62221922
Too expensive.

Or at least find something that works BETTER than Discord before recommending something that isn't Discord. (I have no idea if anything FOSS meets that criteria.)

Getting your friend off XP is more important, but he's definitely not gonna take your advice on operating systems if your advice on chat clients is "install gentoo."

Riot + Matrix

Riot is for Win7 and higher.

Mumble or IRC, those are the only two I would recommend until Riot because the standard.

Expalin to him he is retarded for wanting to use free and open communication on a closed platform, without support, and riddled with face-melting malware.

At least get him lubuntu or something.

Ring > Riot

>>62224317
They serve different purposes. Ring is basically a Skype clone. Riot is much more like Discord or Slack.

>>62221891
your friend is retarded but since he doesn't use anything you could use any of these
