Yeah I’d love to move my gang off discord but getting them to go back to team speak or vent is not happening
Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.
If only it didn’t looked like a 20 year old software.
Maybe it’s just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI
Yay mumble!
And I agree: it’s better. I think it’s faster and that, IMHO, is where the power is. It can look boring like a hammer as long as it’s intuitive … like a hammer.
I don’t know about the UX, but if you want peoples to use your app, it need to look nice.
I find the login page of discord intelorable, it has ugly EULA on it that I will never sign
Discord is also quite the resource hog. Trying to run the web version on weaker phones is a slog.
Some of the best stuff in the world looks like it’s 20 years past a prime that isn’t, because they’re truly good eternal.

It’s voice chat, you choose a server and then minimize to tray, you never have to look at it…
Especially on mobile.
oh no!! good thing that doesn’t impact anything
Same, if only teamspeak supported screen sharing / streaming, then it would be fine.
I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol
My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.
Well the minute they do and it works for sharing videos as well so we can watch YouTube as a group then we will drop discord super quick. I won’t want to host it at mine but I’ll happily pay for a vps for it.
Just use sunshine moonlight for screenshare, it beats literally everything else, it’s not even close, you can play games through it, it’s just that good.
