I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

i really fucking hate discord.
Why does EVERYTHING have to be proprietary. Fucking capitalism.
Its pretty amazing for voice communication in gaming.
As a messenging app? Meh
i get much better call quality in telegram
dude discord has been one of the worst experiences for voip in gaming IME. I started using mumble SOLELY because discord was actually just disappointing. Though tbf maybe if i paid out the ass for nitro it's better? I ain't paying for that though.
Though yeah, for messaging, it's dogshit, It's a mess.
this is honestly the only good thing about discord, the krisp noise reduction is actually kind of good. It only took them like 3 years to implement it on the linux client. And we've only had system wide noise filtering since the dawn of time.
Although since we're on the topic, discord manages input/output in the single most inconceivably stupid manner possible.
On Linux I use an app called NoiseTorch that creates a virtual mic to cut out background noise in any application
i messed with noisetorch for a bit, it seemed interesting, and worked pretty well. Nothing beats push to talk though tbh.
I don't get why people like it either. It's a mess of chats.
Gamers using it for gaming. In game Voice communication is trash
And that's fine, but why do gamers use it over any other VoIP option? And why the infinity chat channels over infinity servers?
Content creator branding, and "community"
Because it’s the standard for gaming. I use it and would drop it in a heartbeat if it wasn’t standard for every mmo out there.
Don’t like it - don’t use it. It’s a free (capitalist) country.
that's the cool thing, i dont, but you know who does? You, and you know how i would need to contact you? Through discord! Uh oh!
I don’t use discord
damn didn't know you weren't all of my other friends.
I think they wanted to be, they were advertising themselves!
