Great time to start looking for alternatives. Any suggestions?

    Matrix seems like the one with most potential to develop into a 1:1 Discord alternative.
    Then you have XMPP, Mattermost, RocketChat, whatever Revolt.chat renamed itself into, etc.

    IMHO computers are made for text. As this comment illustrates.😆

    That's fine for some folks, but i game with friends a lot. So far discord is the easiest for that. Been researching alternatives for a bit and might go back Mumble, though

    That's way too fancy for irc, but good idea! I will think about how to do that. Would a single still pic be useful?

    It's common to stream gameplay to friends during a voice call. Sharing a single image doesn't really compare

    I was afraid you'd say something like that.

    Dang -- I have no idea how to address that....🤔

    Alright, well I'll keep thinking.

    Thank you very much for the feedback.
