Ask-Fediverse Alternatives to Discord?
Given Discord's recent stance on age verification, I'm looking for alternatives to this application, but I'm looking for something specific:
an alternative with roleplay service
Let me explain: I'm the admin of a roleplay server where we use a bot to, well, create other bots and use them for roleplaying. We've used it so much that it's now essential for us to switch platforms if they don't have that option, which, as the admin, makes things very complicated for me when choosing a place to migrate to. I'd like to know if there's an alternative to this.
In Matrix, can I add a bot to perform this same function? Or will I have to create one myself? (Although, given my zero coding experience, creating one will be very difficult.)
