They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

mmmm, i hate discord, anybody have any good self hosted recommendations? Preferably, fully featured, or featureful, and not some random garb.

Flirting with matrix, the concept fucks. I just haven't gotten around to doing anything with it yet. I know there area few others, like revolt, which is kind of a mess, and various others in the same category.

    TeamSpeak 3 now has a UI similar to discord.

    hmm, interesting. Teamspeak was never really something i've bothered looking into. Might give it a look, though to be clear, im not interface picky, i hate discord, through and through, it's awful.

    Needs a license for larger concurrent user counts, which is probably why it fell off in favour of Mumble and then Discord.

    i've messed with it, i know you can technically self host, but last i checked that's docker only, which is not what im looking for. I want something more stable than revolt, with more features. And i'm not married to the discord UI personally, so anything that does a better job is welcome lol.

    Mattermost used to be the go-to alternative, not sure why it is not mentioned yet. Then it looks like Revolt is getting traction now.

    mmm, when i click on a website and the first button that appears is "contact sales" i'm sure it's a good product.

    maybe i'm just a little too open source pilled, but if i click on a page, and it's not immediately apparent to me what is going on, immediately ignore everything on the page, because IMO, if you don't think your front page is important enough to explain what your product actually is, i'm not going to be acquainted enough to ever use it lol.
