There are quite a few. In order of preference, I used/tried:

• XMPP (Android-Conversations; Windows-Gajim)
• Element/Matrix
• Session
• Discord
• Slack
• Twinme
• Teams
• Skype
• Facebook Messenger
• Instagram DMs

Additional trackers and my ratings. Curious to see anyone’s take on them.

I highly appreciate a well organized tracker that also accommodates the *arr suite. Also if it’s the best in its category, even if it doesn’t hit the mark on other factors.

If drama doesn’t affect normal use of the website, then it’s not a big factor for me. I only seriously got into the private tracker scene 2 years ago.

Should we include public trackers?
