Stop doing Discord
- capitalists were not supposed to own your community
- Years of hanging out yet no real-world use found for sending your private data to be sold to advertisers
- Wanted to leak private data anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that; it was called “turning off ublock origin”
- “Yes please search our chat archive for answers to your question. it will certainly remain up forever and not get deleted when the shareholders realize it’s not profitable” statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
Look at what discord admins have been demanding your respect for all this time:
- task manager screenshot, discord using 97% of CPU
- discord making too many automated requests and getting throttled
- crash screenshot
“3rd-party client? lifetime ban”
They have played us for absolute fools
Based on this image macro
I see that it has 8 person voip… but does it have an actual voice chat like Discord?
Voip is a voice chat, so your question doesn’t make much sense. You can voice chat in voice rooms identically to discord, as I said above.
There is no longer an eight person limit on video or voice calls. There is a limit depending on your server.
The best that I could find was that there was an 8 person limit and that it wasn’t as straightforward as Discord at all.
It’s still nice to see them trying and hopefully one day it’ll be a viable alternative to Discord itself.
The best that you could find?
I am personally unconvinced it’s not a viable alternative to dsicord already. But yes it will always be improving and it will be good to see how far it continues to improve.
Serious question, can you join multiple homeservers yet? Having an account tied to one server is a massive drawback compared to Discord. I tried Cinny earlier and currently use Element with my friends but I don’t think that feature exists.
Yep in the 2 or so minutes I bothered to look it up there was some fancy looking website about it being in beta.
