I feel like Matrix is overkill for my use case, and my friends'. We just want to game and talk with low resources. That's it. I remember when I used to use Mumble, it was pretty great. Although I had to host my own server for that, unfortunately. Is that still the case? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Seralth@piefed.seralth.com 1 point 1 day ago (1 child) It is, but its also gotten both much cheaper, and a LOT easier to do.

But I did consider Mumble when Discord started acting a fool. 😅👍 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Solrac@lemmy.world 1 point 3 days ago Please correct me but, isn't matrix.org, the worse option, because of all the traffic? Calls didn't work reliably in said server, but I got to do a few streams with friends and it was working fine with not much latency, but we were both in another homeserver. I'd like to try gaming tho. permalink fedilink source parent
