Some time ago when Discord used Surveillance Services to face scan all their users a lot of possible alternatives where thrown around.

    Mumble lacks a ton of stuff

    You’re there to voice chat while gaming. It’s not a support forum and it’s not a wiki.

    Why ‘systemd’ something simple?

      You’re there to voice chat while gaming.

      And while doing so, one might want to do one of the things they listed… being able to quickly share screens is a huge part of discord for my group, we’re always showing each other new games we’re playing or helping each other out on games we’re playing together

        Fair point. My game client has a text chat for the game in question, but the voice chat isn’t working under lutris because another group coded it and they cheated with the APIs.

        So we can and do use text chat from the game itself and the voice chat is the only broken bit.
