L’s in the chat… just not on TeamSpeak.
Once Discord embraces enshittification, we will meet again. :)
No need when you have free software Mumble + Murmur :)
Isn’t mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.
mumble is pretty good. I’ve been using it for a few years, has great client server support, no bullshit on either side of the fence there. Super minimal client, though my linux client has issues with leaking memory, easy enough fix though, kill it and restart, which takes 2 seconds.
has pretty good bot support, you really can’t ask for much more, a bit more support and community utilization would be nice though, it’s somewhat dead.
So far mumble has been the definition of “just works”
Mumble is like a reliable Toyota Corolla. You will turn no heads, but it has all the features you would need for the task (encryption, room hierachies, ACL, machine-learning-enhanced noise canceling, positional audio, choice of method input like push-to-talk, mini UI overlay atop games), and does them efficiently.
…And like a Toyota Corolla, there’s probably a decent upgrade out there, but you might be compromising on more than you think. Want a car without the manufacturer tracking you or bloated, touch-screen navigation? Many ‘modern’ VoIP options, especially proprietary ones, are literally doing the latter.
Discord enshittification is well under way, just this week I have started seeing ads in the client just above the voice channel status in the bottom left. Cancelled my Nitro immediately, no point if they are going to shove ads in my face anyway.
Currently looking at alternatives, Revolt looks promising, and can be self hosted.
Bullshit. Pics or it didn’t happen. You might have seen a quest, where if you stream a specific game to your friends you get a free in-game item, but these are not advertisements.
Additionally, you can click on it and tell it to never show you any more quests.
Either that or you’re bitching about discord telling you that it has added more voice channel mini games.

…
Advertising is the practice and techniques employed to bring attention to a product or service. Advertising aims to put a product or service in the spotlight in hopes of drawing it attention from consumers
I have no interest in streaming “quested” games, and whatever deal Discord has done with the developer to encourage users to engage with such games (and by extension the game’s microtransaction economy), and regardless of what they call it, is by definition an advertisement. If you can’t see that, then you are an ad campaign exec’s wet dream. Either that, or a troll.
[Matrix] is the most promising option right noe, having an ecosystem and eee
Schildi Chat is probably the best client I have spotted, full voice and video chat functionality in browser. People do way less hemming and hawing about downloading an app if they’ve already been able to try it out in web - just like discord
Schildi chat is a reskinned version of element, so if you don’t like the look of element you can use schildichat
Mumble better
Ironic that traditionally Nitro makes things happen faster, probably in this case as well
What do you mean? Genuine question, I’m loosely familiar with the the issues with Discord having it’s growing issues with data and advertising but I assumed Nitro was the worst element.
The joke in my brain was that Nitro is fast tracking the enshittification of discord
Me, the mystery dude in the game server who doesn’t have a mic, doesn’t use any voice features, never text chats, but always shows up and plays.
Omg… he finally speaks
Used teamspeak untill me and my crew switched to mumble. They all use discord now though so fuck the traitors.
Only a matter of time before Discord does a Reddit.
Pretty sure they have already started. There’s been controversy with discord doing shit in the past that was leaning that way.
Been on mumble over a decade, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to use discord. Although there’s something fishy about mumble.com
Mumble is super popular with EVE Online players still, no? Because of the support for a large number of users in a single room
Yep, Mumble is the most common, and there are still a couple groups that use Teamspeak.
Discord caps at 100 people in a call while I’ve seen good Mumble servers handle over 800.
For a group our size (we regularly have over 800 people on our mumble, peak is somewhere around the 1.3k mark if I remember correctly), it would also be very cost prohibitive to use TS
Can confirm. Goonswarm still needs Mumble because we have thousands of players that need to listen to the weekly fireside.
I remember moving to mumble from teams peak because it allowed pretty cool levels of configuration.
Back in the late 00s and early 00s I was doing world of warcraft raiding. I had the server setup to have one key for main raid and another to talk to only officers. Quite useful especially in bigger raids.
Also as I recall for any remotely large ts server you needed to pay. The self hosted one was always gimped. Mumble you could self host with no limits.
teams peak real
twins peak
Also supports positional audio which was very cool wheb first introduced for voip
I used TS for the first time in like 15 years litterally two days ago, funny timing.
Yeah, I lost EVE. Again.
Fuck TS, all my homies on MSN Messenger
Multiplay.co.uk stopped offering servers, and Discord was all new, bright and shiny so we switched to Disc. Was sad to see it go tbh
just for ARMA stuff, like ACRE
That TS integration plugin was sooo good
Still need it for arma’s radio mods
Oh, I still use Teamspeak! It’s very nice for small groups up to 32 people (after that one has to use the paid tiers). I do not use X though.
Maybe I’ll give Mumble a shot, so I can integrate it with Matrix/Synapse/Element.
would recommend trying out mumble, it’s pretty slick.
Didn’t know mumble could work together with matrix but makes sense
Have to test it but guides suggest that it’s possible
Yeah, I feel like the OP picture is more of a commentary about the overlap, or lack of overlap, between people who use ts, and people that use the service formerly known as Twitter.
Does mumble integrate with Element?
There are mumble -> matrix bridges you can set up. It doesn’t integrate with element, it integrates with matrix, for which matrix is a client.
Those are text bridges though are they not?
no reason you couldn’t implement a voice bridge either, both have open communication standards. There’s existing bots/libs out there for similar things already. Probably wouldn’t even be all that hard to implement.
I didn’t try yet but there are guides.
I enjoy teamspeak solely for Arma 3 ARCE and TFAR
people will come back if the bloat/ad-trend of discord continues… hopefully?
nah I’ll just continue to mod my client until the death of it. If discord ever decides to ban mods, then most likely yeah I’ll move. Default discord is so fucking bloated and unusable.
Are there modded clients for mobile?
Yes. Aliucord is stuck in the past BUT is running the NATIVE version of the app (not the shitty slow electron one).
Vendetta Manager, discontinued but there is a fork that works. Up to date with discord.
Shit, there are discord mods? Is there a list somewhere of popular mods/what do you recommend?
vencord, hands down best modding client for the job. Just browse their catalog of avalabile plugins and get yourself a better experience ;D
✋ paying for discord nitro
👉👉 paying your favorite client mod dev
Didnt know discord could be modded. Do you have any privacy enhancing mods you’d recommend?
As long as you’re on discord, privacy is just not a thing. However, there was this 1 plugin i really liked, called File Name Randomizer or something along those lines. It would just rename any image you upload to the platform to someone generic. Other than that, there’s the disabled telemetry that some clients come with, but that’s the extent of what I know.

Blow it out your ass
Past memory unlocked.
Ventrilo was the shit back then.
Vi sitter här på venten och spelar lite DOTA
My friends and I still use TS3. The audio quality and voice activation is better than Discord’s, and the desktop app doesn’t take ten fucking gigabytes of RAM to run.
deleted by creator
Nah bro that’s just the memory leaks, your supposed to force close and reopen it every so often so the OS cleans up after their shitty application
Memory is cheap nowadays, so that’s a feature /s
I bought the whole RAM, I’m gonna use the whole RAM
Good to hear ts3 is still rockin.
If you use discord, access with a web browser. No need to ever download discord the app
