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.
