Still waiting for a competitor that I can get my friends to switch to.
No, Matrix doesn’t seem to be it. Nor does IRC or XMPP. People don’t care to deal with the “hassle”.
Teamspeak seems to be the closest, but the newest versions bringing more discord-like features aren’t there yet.
Maybe I just want to return to the old days lol.
There will not be a worth while competitor because the only way you can overcome the network effect is billion dollar marketing campaigns. And you don’t get those without being on the same enshitification pipeline as discord.
This is innovation! Now I don’t even have to play the games to get a sense of satisfaction.
Good lord! I’ve been trying to get my friends off of discord and onto my matrix server. This is the worst
Same. Now i just call them on steam if we play a game. Discord got so cancerous.
Wow, this is ✨cancer✨
This is just each patch note for Discord. It’s so hard to move people off it though, ughhhh
Yeah i haven’t convinced a single person off of it. They complain anything else is too hard.
I miss techy people from the early 2000s that didnt bitch about setting up voice servers.
This has negative appeal for me. I don’t want to buy slop in games. I don’t even want to use discord. It’s the children who are out of touch.
Now excuse me, I have to go yell at some clouds.
Its true, the children are indoctrinated and dont know better. Unfortunately, we will lose.
Hey, if y’all could fix Teamspeak and Matrix so they don’t feel like voice channels for ARMA games (and that’s it), I might have some success convincing my community to switch.
Why would you buy game items if you don’t want to actually open the game
