    I don’t know what they’re even doing. TeamSpeak/Mumble is not a replacement for Discord. There’s no separate text channels in addition to the voice ones. It’s just a VOIP program. If you move from Discord to one of those you’re either in addition fundamentally changing your way of thinking or you’re in for disappointment.

    For one there’s no “public communities” as with Discord. Here are the biggest servers from mumist.eu:

    You’re describing teamspeak 3. It’s on version 6 now and has those features.

      That may be the case, but in Ventrilo you can page someone “[][][][][][][][][]” and it will go “page from left square bracket right square bracket left square bracket right square bracket left square bracket right square bracket…” This is a major advantage

      True, Mumble does have text-to-speech, but no Microsoft Sam in a roflcopter that goes soisoisoisoisoisoi

        We’re setting up our own Matrix/Element CE and mulling over the non-technical folks’ fumbling trying to figure it out. Going to have to test a lot. Stoat is promising since it has a familiar UI, but we have a large amount of mobile-only friends.

        Not even looking at the non-free stuff. This is the shove we needed to finally move off that type of crap.

        Forgot about XMPP until reading earlier comments. Will have to put that on the list.

        Matrix is actively user hostile. It’s no fun to use at all.

          The topic of the thread is about users migrating away from Discord due to privacy concerns over their ID requirements. If this doesn’t apply to you, what is your purpose commenting? To tell us all that the thing in the OP isn’t actually happening?

          Your position is that:

          • this can’t happen,
          • people can’t leave discord because people are on discord,
          • it’s impossible to learn 3 applications,

          Therefore nobody would replace Discord with Teamspeak and also use some other chat program (that’s 2 programs! which is nearly as impossible as learning 3 programs!).

          You’re posting this opinion in a thread about users migrating to TeamSpeak and calling me the idiot?

          That’s certainly an opinion.

          Your a fucking delusional idiot.

          ‘Your’ is the possessive form of you.

          You’re is the word you’re looking for, as it is a contraction of ‘you are’ as in ‘you are an idiot’.

          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.

              XMPP can actually do everything, chat, group video calls, and even screen sharing with the Movim client. It’s a one-stop shop.

              I have seen the conversation around ditching discord come up a few times, but this more recent one was the first time seeing Movim and it seems to have more folks post about it. Is it newer then revolt, rocket, etc?

                Just use fluxer. It literally does all that. It’s basically feature parity with discord.

                Other then waiting on them to finish up the native mobile app.

                  Older, actually. Its been around since 2010, and is built upon the XMPP protocol, which is from 1999.

                  Movim has only recently taken the direction of becoming a Discord replacement.

                        One thing that worries me a little about fluxer is this:

                        Finally, we can offer commercial licences to companies that want to run Fluxer internally without being bound by the AGPLv3 copyleft terms. This is enabled via a contributor-friendly CLA, but it doesn’t create a separate “enterprise edition”. It’s still the same Fluxer software everyone else uses.

                        • https://blog.fluxer.app/how-i-built-fluxer-a-discord-like-chat-app/

                        They have a CLA on contributions. So while today Fluxer is licensed as AGPLv3, tomorrow they can pull the rug and change the license, just like everyone else has been doing.

                                That’s the thing, for me Discord replaced Slack. I never used the voice chat feature of Discord. I had family, friend group, interest group Slack servers to chat, all was eventually moved to Discord.

                                Meanwhile I still use Mumble for voice chat, Discord never replaced Mumble for me, it was a replacement for chat groups, which I previously used Slack for.

                                That’s interesting since you were already using slack, did you just switch due to network effect or are there additional features in discord?

                                  I started using Discord because I was joining communities that were on Discord, and at some point I no longer wanted to use two similar chat apps, so it was simpler to only use Discord.

                                  Discord did have one big advantage over Slack though, in that you can switch between servers within 1 browser tab easily. Slack servers are completely separated and if you are on 4, you realistically need to keep 4 Slack browser tabs open.

                                        For me, it wasn’t about the AI. It’s that early development of the game was all PvE play. PVP was something that was added at launch, and the game is tagged as PvE, along with PvP on steam. Stupid me thought there would be PvE only lobbies and I was clearly mistaken. I tried playing it, I put 100 hours in. The entire game was me grinding the easy map, to level up and craft/buy better guns, only to be shot on sight by someone and have everything I worked for taken. I would solo down bastions, leapers, and bombdiers to have someone run up and shoot me on site, without asking if I would share loot. (I would rather share than lose everything.) Events in the game also reward PvP play by awarding cred. People are making smurf accounts so they can end up in friendly matches to dominate people that don’t want to pvp. Enemy spawns are fucked up too. I’ve downed arc only for the corpses to despawn as I attempt to loot it. I’ve walked into clear areas, only to have bombadiers spawn on top of me out of nowhere. The worst part of the game is being dropped into a map/match after 10 minutes has elapsed, which means anything decent has already been looted and you’re more likely to run into people camping extraction points. They have a temp event running that rewards PvE cooperative play, and I’ve still gotten killed on site, although less frequently. After the event is over, I’ll probably uninstall the game again.

                                        Not trying to change your mind because if you don’t like it you don’t like it, but the fame was developed and play tested as a PvE game. It was slated for release before The Finals. The playtesting revealed that the game was just not fun. The developers, the play testers, everyone involved felt it was boring. They delayed the game and created what was released.

                                        I understand not personally enjoying what was released, but Embark made a decision to change the gameplay during development on their own, they weren’t forced to by a publisher or anything, and they didn’t renege on any promise or anything.
