i really fucking hate discord.

Why does EVERYTHING have to be proprietary. Fucking capitalism.

    dude discord has been one of the worst experiences for voip in gaming IME. I started using mumble SOLELY because discord was actually just disappointing. Though tbf maybe if i paid out the ass for nitro it's better? I ain't paying for that though.

    Though yeah, for messaging, it's dogshit, It's a mess.

    this is honestly the only good thing about discord, the krisp noise reduction is actually kind of good. It only took them like 3 years to implement it on the linux client. And we've only had system wide noise filtering since the dawn of time.

    Although since we're on the topic, discord manages input/output in the single most inconceivably stupid manner possible.

    I don't get why people like it either. It's a mess of chats.

    I really wanted to keep faith in it after the ui overhaul recently - VoIP performance was SO much better on Xbox, latency specifically. But good GOD the mobile app is just a pile of garbage nowdays. I have so many friends stuck on that platform, I still end up sharing links there to Lemmy memes and like 60% of the time when I share to the app it permenantly sticks on the splash screen??? 🙄 notifications are fucked these days too, myself & my friend group regularly miss messages entirely, even with direct @ mentions?!

    Worse, I dropped a crap review and complained that function has dropped horribly since the update and the devs INSTANTLY replied like "Have you tried pretending you're a beta tester for us? Do you mind doing a buncha troubleshooting you definitely haven't already done?" (They wanted me to reinstall the app... Smh)

    Anyway - fuck discord. I'm planning to shift to Revolt, but if anyone has better suggestions I'd be happy to try some!

    im genuinely surprised discord even tries testing things on the two test branches they have. Yes, you heard me correctly, they have TWO separate testing branches. Bugs literally should not exist on the stable branch.

    also when it comes to voip, i've enjoyed mumble, it's pretty solid, minimal, configurable (highly integrated into games already, it's old af though so maybe not new games) and works pretty well. Revolt seems alright, but it's plagued with bugs, and weird issues, plus it's self hosting is just, jank.

    We could use a self hosted discord replacement tbh.

    Don’t like it - don’t use it. It’s a free (capitalist) country.
