Teamspeak is so close to being amazing. The only problems I have are that it’s not open source, and even when you self-host a ts server, a lot of data still goes through their servers. Oh also, I can’t screen share with audio on Linux
There will not be a worth while competitor because the only way you can overcome the network effect is billion dollar marketing campaigns. And you don’t get those without being on the same enshitification pipeline as discord.
Still waiting for a competitor that I can get my friends to switch to.
No, Matrix doesn’t seem to be it. Nor does IRC or XMPP. People don’t care to deal with the “hassle”.
I finally bit the bullet and joined discord last year.
Okay damn this is a pretty stable system with video streaming and voice chat. And the communities.
Teamspeak seems to be the closest, but the newest versions bringing more discord-like features aren’t there yet.
Maybe I just want to return to the old days lol.
