How come nobody has forked Mumble to create a better Discord alternative? (lemm.ee)

Please understand that I'm not a programmer and so this is probably a really dumb question, but Mumble works so great for voice chat and it already has text chat capabilities. It could just do with a UI refresh and maybe some added functionality to really provide a much better alternative to Discord. Any thoughts?

Eh. The world needs to go back to push to talk anyway.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Does that work now?

[–] termus@beehaw.org 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

No idea. I just don't want to hear my friends coughing into their mic overall.

I prefer voice activation with machine learning noise filter to remove stuff like coughing, eating, etc

Like how discord has

That's not a Mumble fork.

They don't really advertise the server software on their website. How come?

They show off all servers, so surely it is self hostable. How come they don't show off the server software?

They are working on the client at the moment and the server software work will be worked on when that is done, as currently it's not working for self hosting or something.
