Mumble is the unsung original that Discord obscured
it's free libre open source
Mumble has great voice quality and if all you want is VoIP then yes, it's a great option.
Unfortunately it can't replace all the other things Discord does. Also it is too cumbersome to use for mass adoption, I think.
no wtf? it has chats and channels and mod permissions
Screen sharing/streaming too?
Personally that's okay with me cause I don't need much of the features.
And I plan to mainly do 1 on 1 calls with a single friend (cause I don't think moving roughly 5-8 people will work), so not worried too much about server features
I saw that they had unofficial builds for their mobile clients (with iOS being unmaintained since 2017) and the android one being an F-Droid repo. Have you had experiences with either?
i've used the android one a bit
idk iOS shoots customers in the foot
