Sounds like a good time to reinstall ventrilo
Mumble is where it's at.
I just have to find a linux distro that likes my network device so I can install my local server, but I honestly never left Mumble, the sound quality is higher that Discord (imo)
Adding that to my list, I was looking at element (matrix), revolt and fosscord
I assume that one was a joke, Ventrilo looks very out of date
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventrilo
Revolt is nice though. Once they finish upgrading the app, it would be an easy switch
I didn't know about Fosscord (now called Spacebar it seems), it looks cool https://github.com/spacebarchat
Ventrilo is what everyone used like 20 years ago it's the OG of course it's outdated
Spacebar looks to be exactly what I’ve been looking for! Unfortunately, according to their FAQ the voice and video features aren’t implemented yet but here’s hoping that someone comes on-board to help set it up 🤞definitely an easy decision for a self hosted Discord alternative if that comes to fruition!
Fosscord changed to "spacebar" a while back. If you want a more Discord-like experience, try the Cinny or Comet Matrix client. And on mobile the SchildiNext Chat client. Although I really can't recommend Matrix as a replacement at all.
I just want an experience my friends aren't too stumped by. I'll give them a look! Thank you!
Matrix authentication process is confusing and annoying. If your friends aren't technical, they're going to have a bad time.
Ye, it is. I liked it but I don't think many will. A non-paranoid mode or service for matrix would be nice
Do those have push to talk?
Uhhhh I'm not sure, I only use the text functions
"Get off vent, or I'll have you bent."
I wish those stupid videos weren't the first thing my brain goes for when I see the word "Ventrilo."
I immediately go to vent pranks from like 17 years ago where they recorded people's voices in public chats, then played it back to them and cause some amazing confusion
'found a ring in there last night...dropped your pants?'
