minus-squareKyrgizion@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up23arrow-down2·5 days agoI’ve always hated Discord since the very beginning. At least now I have yet another really good reason. Never used it, never will. Ventrilo for lyfe.
minus-squareairikr@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up17·5 days agoFor me it’s Mumble. Open sourced and completely free with encryption, and temporary chat logs.

minus-squareKaryoplasma@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up9·5 days agoIt was XFire -> TS -> Vent -> Skype -> Discord for me.
minus-squareacockworkorange@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·5 days agoSo like XMPP, SIP, Mumble, or Matrix without the chat part.
minus-squareacockworkorange@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·5 days agoNothing. Like, absolutely nothing. It didn’t keep up with the times. I spent am untold amount of time on IRC, but the fact that you have to be online to have a chance to read messages just doesn’t jive with most people’s schedules anymore.
minus-squareTXL@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-24 days agoSpam and other attacks did happen. And it doesn’t really handle being mobile or disconnected without some sort of proxy. Among other things. It’s still there, but withered and infested. Kind of like Usenet and real email.
minus-squarex00z@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 days agoAudio quality Teamspeak3, Discord and Mumble all use Opus Voice Teamspeak2 and Ventrilo used Speex and eventually CELT. CELT is decent but Opus is better. WIth current hardware and cheap hosting, setting Opus Voice to max quality is best.

What happened to IRC? It worked great.
