Please discord die already
Until a viable alternative is presented, I doubt Discord will die anytime soon. Part of the problem is people have a hard time accepting that even if you make the best meal in town, you've gotta get people to step inside before they'll try it. To an extent, this does involve winning a popularity contest of sorts if you want Discord to die.
I think often times folks are torn between enjoying a space/app as is, and making compromises to attract a larger group. IMO Linux has the same issue and that's part of why die hard fanboys get so aggressively defensive when this is brought up.
It's the software equivalent of being the bitter "nice guy" that simultaneously wants to attract a girlfriend (users) but is kind of an asshole to women. You might think you don't stink but please wear deodorant.
Yeah i also don't think it's dying hence the plea. But thing is, i don't want alternative. I want this shit to die so i never want to see "join our discord" spammed absolutely everywhere when i want to get some info on anything.
What's a good voice-chat alternative then?
Before the discord plague i used Team Speak, it was sufficient.
TS has always, and I do mean always, been garbage.
No. I mean if you spend your entire life jumping between 30 rooms full of people then perhaps, but for just normal voice communication for meeting, gaming or RPG it was entirely sufficient.
I already use a different app for voice chat, and never used Discord's voice chat feature.
Discord is a modern alternative to IRC, Slack, or a more fully featured version of Matrix. I never considered it for the voice chat feature.
People always bring up voice chat alternatives, which don't replace Discord at all, because voice chat is a tiny unimportant feature of Discord that I wouldn't notice if they removed.
