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?

Hm, hopefully Discord takes awhile to enshittify. Sounds like the current solutions need time to polish up.

Yeah. Though we have never used discord due to its lack of e2ee in text messages, requiring a phone number in some circumstances, that shitty nitro thing and personally because we don't like group chats that much unless they are small and only people we already know.

Plus ioo it has already enshitified with an LLM, and other things that cannot be turned off.
