minus-squareKyrgizion@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up24arrow-down2·12 days agoI’ve always hated Discord since the very beginning. At least now I have yet another really good reason. Never used it, never will. Ventrilo for lyfe.
minus-squareairikr@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up17·12 days agoFor me it’s Mumble. Open sourced and completely free with encryption, and temporary chat logs.

minus-squareKaryoplasma@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up9·12 days agoIt was XFire -> TS -> Vent -> Skype -> Discord for me.
minus-squareacockworkorange@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·12 days agoSo like XMPP, SIP, Mumble, or Matrix without the chat part.
minus-squareacockworkorange@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·12 days agoNothing. Like, absolutely nothing. It didn’t keep up with the times. I spent am untold amount of time on IRC, but the fact that you have to be online to have a chance to read messages just doesn’t jive with most people’s schedules anymore.
minus-squarex00z@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 days agoAudio quality Teamspeak3, Discord and Mumble all use Opus Voice Teamspeak2 and Ventrilo used Speex and eventually CELT. CELT is decent but Opus is better. WIth current hardware and cheap hosting, setting Opus Voice to max quality is best.
