Real life. I seem to meet a lot less pedophiles that way
Are people just making it a habit of randomly joining unknown servers? I have literally never run into pedos on discord and I’ve been active in 50+ (not at the same time) since it launched
…hi what’s your discord.
Matrix is my fav. But I also use IRC and XMPP.
I’d like to use something other then Discord, but the problem is none of my friends give a shit about privacy and all use Discord still. I will have zero chance getting them to make the switch when they inherently don’t care about their data privacy.
I have tried to change my friends too but also another thing is quality audio and noise suppression. I have tried Mumble , Jami , Element all of them lack a proper noise suppression algorithm that’s its good enough for us.
I tried running the armcord wrapper, but when I wanted to stream a game to my friends in the server, it wouldn’t work through armcord , then getting armcord shut down and logged into Discord proper was hugely problematic so I ended up abandoning it all together.
I think the hurdle we have is, no one but the privacy minded want to change, so for individual decisions like switching off of gmail to proton mail, works great, but for apps that are group based in nature, and only have value if everyone is using it… just about impossible to make the switch.

Matrix is the only I see going places. It’s already used by many open source and privacy projects, as well as on lemmy. It was the most admired software in the stack overflow survey this year

Kinda wish xFire would make a comeback.
A phone call/text?
Quite possibly the only option that’s worse
I host my nerd herds Teamspeak3 service still. Its pretty much my internet residence, but from what skuttlebutt I have heard, they are skipping TS4 and going to TS5. Its supposed to be a self hosted discord clone… With some dumb licensing thing… Honestly im not interested and will keep TS3 as long as I can.
