They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    mmmm, i hate discord, anybody have any good self hosted recommendations? Preferably, fully featured, or featureful, and not some random garb.

    Flirting with matrix, the concept fucks. I just haven’t gotten around to doing anything with it yet. I know there area few others, like revolt, which is kind of a mess, and various others in the same category.

        Kinda surprised TS is still around. It’s all we used in the ‘00s for gaming, but slowly lost relevance thanks to in-game VoIP and other popular solutions like discord.

        hmm, interesting. Teamspeak was never really something i’ve bothered looking into. Might give it a look, though to be clear, im not interface picky, i hate discord, through and through, it’s awful.

          Needs a license for larger concurrent user counts, which is probably why it fell off in favour of Mumble and then Discord.

            yeah this is my main concern, anything with licensing can change at a moments notice, just look at vmware lol.

            I do use mumble though, it’s great, just a little feature lite. But what it does is perfect so can’t really complain.

          If you want to get to know Teamspeak, you could start by trying to share a file with someone on the same server! Good luck have fun!

        i’ve messed with it, i know you can technically self host, but last i checked that’s docker only, which is not what im looking for. I want something more stable than revolt, with more features. And i’m not married to the discord UI personally, so anything that does a better job is welcome lol.

        IRC has been in the back of my mind, not familiar with it other than the fact that it’s ancient as fuck, and it works:tm: so. I’ll probably consider it at some point.

            maybe i’m just a little too open source pilled, but if i click on a page, and it’s not immediately apparent to me what is going on, immediately ignore everything on the page, because IMO, if you don’t think your front page is important enough to explain what your product actually is, i’m not going to be acquainted enough to ever use it lol.
