Once Discord embraces enshittification, we will meet again. :)
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
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.
[Matrix] is the most promising option right noe, having an ecosystem and eee
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.
