Discord keeps walking into rakes, but TeamSpeak is thriving after 'incredible surge of new users'

stoat.chat seems like a good alternative.
UK based, soon to implement identity verification, unfederated

why go from one corporate property to another when enshitification is the problem and libre options are available??
tomorrow’s headline: “Teamspeak CEO excited to be working with Discord”
Matrix has the best architecture by far. The only feature it lacks is high fps screenshare with audio. Right now its only acceptable for like a powerpoint presentation.
When the update fixing that comes it will finally be ready to fully replace discord.
-
Teamspeak is not a good replacement lol
it’s what other people used to be familiar with though, so that’s probably why. also - can’t you download and host your own teamspeak server? I haven’t used it in so long I can’t remember how it works haha

Matrix is actively user hostile. It’s no fun to use at all.
I’ve found it is clunky and bloated myself, but it’s slim pickins trying to cover everything users expect. Hopefully one of these add-ons makes it less… rough.

I often fall back to Molly for video chat, the quality is superior
Sticking with discord for slightly better video doesn’t sound reasonable

VENT or nothing!
Iirc Ventrilo doesn’t support Linux, or it’s codecs don’t. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong!

I ended up running the element-call stack for our matrix server. Has worked great for group vid calls and screen sharing so far. I don’t think it had audio for screen shares, the only item missing from your list

Yes you can host your own team speak server on your own.
I would recommend a FLOSS alternative, to help the odds of you being able to keep it within your control. There’s a few options others have mentioned around the fediverse.

This feels like it’s happening way too soon. Sure, at the current pace I would expect an exodus from discord eventually, but I didn’t believe that there was so many proactive people on the platform.
Anyway, TeamSpeak has always been great. Discord voice can be rather unstable as you add more people to a chat, or depending on the locations of the people in it.

Been on IRC for like 3-decades and is where I get my media content, mostly. Highly recommended if you give zero shits about fancy text!
how do you get media isnt it only plain text?

Haha pointing out the wrong use of a possessive tells me everything I need to know about you.
I made fun of you because of your absolutely delusional refusal to acknowledge the extreme barriers to open source options in the current state.
If you weren’t delusional, a logical response would be…
We absolutely have to address these issues if we want widespread adoption of these applications to replace closed source programs.
Gosh, I hope I can survive the reputation harm that I’m suffering because a faceless person(?) on the Internet has read my comments in bad faith and slaughtering their freshly created strawmen.
Haha pointing out the wrong
“Haha, pointing”

Is mumble still a thing? It was the best for low latency and automatic mic pickup/ nouse cancelling back in the day.

DCC transfers direct from bots. You can do transfers, just gotta trust the source of the content.

I was wondering if it was really the software I was using for World of Warcraft in the 2000s.

Well convince my 22 friends to switch when a feature they consider critical is missing

That is a non-sense comment. Where do you even get that from? And the “weird” encryption layer is literally the Signal library.
Against XMPP+OMEMO - Dhole Moments
XMPP is a messaging protocol (among other things) that needs no introduction to any technical audience. Its various implementations have proliferated through technical communities for decades. Many large tech companies today used to run XMPP servers. However, the basic protocol transmitted plaintext. If you were lucky, it was plaintext over SSL/TLS, but servers could still…
