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?

Does that work now?

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

Or mumble

I use easy effects for the filter to apply across all apps

I'm pretty new to Linux (currently on Mint) and I have yet to get Easy Effects to work. I'm certain I'm the problem, but I've tried following guides and videos, yet as soon as I try using it, my friends on Discord say my audio becomes garbled and robotic. One of these days I'll sort it out. One of these days lol

Are you using the flatpak? It works pretty much out of the box for me. Robotic even with no filters?
