I tried out matrix recently, it's pretty good.

Fuck is wrong with Mumble?

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

that's audio chat. Discord I mostly use for text.

[–] ModestCrab@lemmy.wtf -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

? Mumble is text chat also.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, I suppose. My experience with mumble is 12 years out of date, but I recall that you generally plan to use Mumble in advance rather than contact somebody through mumble.

[–] ModestCrab@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Noob. Gotta have somebody host the mumble server 24/7. Persistent private chat with images amongst your buddies.

And absolutely destroyed by discords reaction gifs and emojis.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago

I hardly use nor see reaction gifs on discord, though the emoji UI/UX is a big deal. (I think the gif system they use has an open API though, so it could be added to other platforms..)

Same thing that’s wrong with Teamspeak and the other old standby, IRC:

A dated look and lack of shinies like inline GIFs scares the youngsters, the lack of history/persistence drops them and everyone else.

Ah, the many logging bots of IRC. Going to a website or getting daily sized text files DCC’d to you so you could search up if your problem had already been solved, or so someone said they think it was solved on one of those days…

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

history/persistance is the problem; I don't think anyone seriously cares about inline GIFs.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You would be surprised

[–] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

I don't see anything wrong in preferring a higher level of expression through GIFs or whatever.

[–] ModestCrab@lemmy.wtf 3 points 2 days ago

Well fuck me if history/persistence isn’t really a problem in an age when we were being warned the government was spying on everything.
