My friends and I still use TS3. The audio quality and voice activation is better than Discord’s, and the desktop app doesn’t take ten fucking gigabytes of RAM to run.
- sub_ubi ( @sub_ubi@lemmy.ml ) 31•7 months ago
Good to hear ts3 is still rockin.
If you use discord, access with a web browser. No need to ever download discord the app

Ironic that traditionally Nitro makes things happen faster, probably in this case as well
- Khrux ( @Khrux@ttrpg.network ) English2•7 months ago
What do you mean? Genuine question, I’m loosely familiar with the the issues with Discord having it’s growing issues with data and advertising but I assumed Nitro was the worst element.
- raptore39 ( @raptore39@lemm.ee ) 7•7 months ago
The joke in my brain was that Nitro is fast tracking the enshittification of discord

Mumble better
- Rookeh ( @Rookeh@startrek.website ) 13•7 months ago
Discord enshittification is well under way, just this week I have started seeing ads in the client just above the voice channel status in the bottom left. Cancelled my Nitro immediately, no point if they are going to shove ads in my face anyway.
Currently looking at alternatives, Revolt looks promising, and can be self hosted.
- Blisterexe ( @Blisterexe@lemmy.zip ) 3•7 months ago
[Matrix] is the most promising option right noe, having an ecosystem and eee
- Scary le Poo ( @Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org ) 2•7 months ago
Bullshit. Pics or it didn’t happen. You might have seen a quest, where if you stream a specific game to your friends you get a free in-game item, but these are not advertisements.
Additionally, you can click on it and tell it to never show you any more quests.
Either that or you’re bitching about discord telling you that it has added more voice channel mini games.
- Rookeh ( @Rookeh@startrek.website ) 5•7 months ago
You might have seen a quest, where if you stream a specific game to your friends you get a free in-game item, but these are not advertisements.
…
Advertising is the practice and techniques employed to bring attention to a product or service. Advertising aims to put a product or service in the spotlight in hopes of drawing it attention from consumers
I have no interest in streaming “quested” games, and whatever deal Discord has done with the developer to encourage users to engage with such games (and by extension the game’s microtransaction economy), and regardless of what they call it, is by definition an advertisement. If you can’t see that, then you are an ad campaign exec’s wet dream. Either that, or a troll.

Isn’t mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.
- toastal ( @toastal@lemmy.ml ) 6•7 months ago
Mumble is like a reliable Toyota Corolla. You will turn no heads, but it has all the features you would need for the task (encryption, room hierachies, ACL, machine-learning-enhanced noise canceling, positional audio, choice of method input like push-to-talk, mini UI overlay atop games), and does them efficiently.
…And like a Toyota Corolla, there’s probably a decent upgrade out there, but you might be compromising on more than you think. Want a car without the manufacturer tracking you or bloated, touch-screen navigation? Many ‘modern’ VoIP options, especially proprietary ones, are literally doing the latter.
- KillingTimeItself ( @KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English5•7 months ago
mumble is pretty good. I’ve been using it for a few years, has great client server support, no bullshit on either side of the fence there. Super minimal client, though my linux client has issues with leaking memory, easy enough fix though, kill it and restart, which takes 2 seconds.
has pretty good bot support, you really can’t ask for much more, a bit more support and community utilization would be nice though, it’s somewhat dead.
So far mumble has been the definition of “just works”
- twinnie ( @twinnie@feddit.uk ) 40•7 months ago
Shit, that’s a real post. The whole account is just talking about how nobody uses TeamSpeak anymore.
- BenchpressMuyDebil ( @BenchpressMuyDebil@szmer.info ) 33•7 months ago
Mumble is super popular with EVE Online players still, no? Because of the support for a large number of users in a single room
- r00ty ( @r00ty@kbin.life ) 19•7 months ago
I remember moving to mumble from teams peak because it allowed pretty cool levels of configuration.
Back in the late 00s and early 00s I was doing world of warcraft raiding. I had the server setup to have one key for main raid and another to talk to only officers. Quite useful especially in bigger raids.
Also as I recall for any remotely large ts server you needed to pay. The self hosted one was always gimped. Mumble you could self host with no limits.

- sethboy66 ( @sethboy66@kbin.social ) 6•7 months ago
Yep, Mumble is the most common, and there are still a couple groups that use Teamspeak.
Discord caps at 100 people in a call while I’ve seen good Mumble servers handle over 800.
- toastal ( @toastal@lemmy.ml ) English27•7 months ago
Here I am self-hosting Mumble for friends & using Mumble at work. Old tech was built to actually be good on resources.
- rmuk ( @rmuk@feddit.uk ) English8•7 months ago
+1 for Mumble. I set up a load of Android PoC devices with a Mumble server and it’s honestly like having walkie-talkies that work over the Intertubes.

Me, the mystery dude in the game server who doesn’t have a mic, doesn’t use any voice features, never text chats, but always shows up and plays.
- jawa21 ( @jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org ) 23•7 months ago
The real question is: How in the world did Ventrillo continue to exist after TeamSpeak came along?
Vent was an object lesson in hostile UX. It sounded like shit, changing any kind of setting (even basic things like individual volumes) was a a gymnastics routine, and mics constantly clipped despite settings.
- iamjackflack ( @iamjackflack@lemm.ee ) 11•7 months ago
Unpopular opinion, ventrilo was better than team speak. It didn’t sound like crap especially when you had good server codecs and it was extremely easy to use and lightweight.
- morbidcactus ( @morbidcactus@lemmy.ca ) 5•7 months ago
I don’t think that’s unpopular at all, I only ever used vent in highschool and uni, some of the groups I ran with even went back to vent from TS becauae of the sound quality. It was simple and easy to use and pretty much everyone had it.

I refuse to use discord, it is basically malware. Selfhosting is the only way, and TS3 works great for that.

Huge RAM usage, wierd crashes, causes random lag in games, constant enshittification on-going. No thanks.

Oh, I still use Teamspeak! It’s very nice for small groups up to 32 people (after that one has to use the paid tiers). I do not use X though.
Maybe I’ll give Mumble a shot, so I can integrate it with Matrix/Synapse/Element.
- KillingTimeItself ( @KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•7 months ago

Yeah, I feel like the OP picture is more of a commentary about the overlap, or lack of overlap, between people who use ts, and people that use the service formerly known as Twitter.
- KillingTimeItself ( @KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English15•7 months ago
drop version 5 and people might start fucking using it again.
Mumble even though it’s literally dead, is a better platform.
Matrix and XMPP both support this shit also. This is literally a skill issue.
- jherazob ( @jherazob@beehaw.org ) English1•7 months ago
At a glance it looks like Mumble is not dead at all, latest “preview” release is from last month
- KillingTimeItself ( @KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•7 months ago
i dont think the software is “dead dead” but i think it’s dead from the aspect that it seems to be stagnant, which to be clear, isn’t a bad thing. It just feels a little bit like it’s still 2012 everytime you open mumble.
It’s a tad bit disappointing, considering i love it so much. But i don’t think anything else will properly replace it.
