Would definitely recommend Discord, although it's aimed at gamers, it seems to be an amazing all-round chat service.

Rooms are of an unlimited size and have all the core functionality like file & image sharing, code highlighting, "reactions", which we've come to expect but also focuses more on getting people to speak to each other. It's built on electron and is both really quick & also require almost no resources when running in the background.



It has code highlighting? This is news to me.


discord has become so much more than a gaming comms platform now. And rightfully so. It is an amazing platform.


Definitely, I use it for most of my comms. (Except for Telegram which I use for general messaging)
