        It sadly can’t replace all the other things Discord does, but if all you want is low-latency VOIP with good sound quality - Mumble’s your man.

      I think vent was the last of these I used before discord took off.

      These days I just don’t voice.

        For some people TeamSpeak didn’t go anywhere. I’ve been using TeamSpeak for the past 5 years as I started communicating with people who never gave it up.

    Looking forward to Discord’s enshittification. I’m annoyed at how many people expect you to use this insecure platform.

      I can’t stand the fact that discord is used as a forum for many open source projects.

      It’s horrible, it weights a lot, it’s not easily searchable and it’s completely excluded from Google search results. Bring back forums!

    leaving reddit was easy. i only had to move myself.

    leaving discord will be almost impossible, as I’ll have to move a dozen or so normies whom it took years getting them onto discord in the first place.

    Discords ui and feature popups are kinda annoying and all, people apparently do not appreciate what they give us for free.

    Teamspeak had stagnated from being top dog for so long.

    People are really going to miss the Discord of today when you start getting banner ads flashing at the bottom of the screen or limited server slots.

    Got my fingers crossed the Discord IPO will be an absolute shitshow and no one is prepared to sink money into an already enshittified app.

      Yes, people are very stupid if they invest in such a shitty platform. They’re going to lose all of their money.
