@LWFlouisa well, Discord is well known to be a social network for gamers, that just happens to take the form of a chat server. Not surprising you'd find a higher proportion of #Gamergate types there. I haven't spent much time on public #Mumble channels, but I've used it as a replacement for #Skype for voice conferences for activist tech projects. It's pretty good quality for that, and #FreeCode to boot. https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble @z428@pootz
@LWFlouisa it depends if you're trying to replace #Discord as a chat *technology*, in which case I highly recommend #Mumble, or the hosted *social* aspect of Discord. The social aspect is much more complicated to replace, due to things like #NetworkEffect. @z428@pootz
Feel free to use the #KWVoIP #Mumble server -- it's largely going to waste, since we're not using it for our own meetings. mumble://kwvoip.ca:64738 /cc: @lnxw48a1 @davehunt @bthall
@davehunt Hey dude, we can audio chat sometime soon via #Mumble! @lnxw48a1 setup a server of his own and seems to be OK with the idea of you and me using it (hopefully with him, too). 😊
@dazinism I just used the list of servers in the client to find a local server, and asked if they could set up a 'community meeting' channel, which they did. I was lucky enough to strike a super cool admin at first pop, it might take you a few tries. Of course the very best one to use is your own, if your or someone in your group can set up an instance of #Murmur (server that goes with #Mumble clients). If it's only you and your groups using it, the resources used are pretty low.
@lightweight we used #Mumble quite heavily for regular online team check-ins when I did that project coordinator work for #Permaculture in NZ. If you like, we could set up a time to have a chat on your server about the possibilities?
@Wraptile you don't think #Reddit UI is the result of modern #UX design? There's a reason it doesn't require a native client to work properly and require users to choose and connect to a server like #IRC or #Mumble ...
@thatbrickster Some older instances had #mumble servers. Fragdev and Federati's "fresh" instance among them. They weren't used as often, but I'd credit our group of teens for the surge, not any specific oerson.
