Discord. God I hate that program, but everyone I know uses it.
Same as Reddit; it's network affect. There are different applications out there for various purposes that work better/nicer than Discord. But not enough people are using them so everyone goes where everyone else is at.
Geddit is not bad front end. No reddit account needed
Honestly I can’t replace discord with something that doesn’t have the streaming feature. I use that waaaay too much
I decided to be the change I want to see, so I got my gaming group a Mumbe server for audio chat. I self-host, but commercial ones are dirt cheap. Sound quality is better than Discord. We use Matrix for text, pictures, etc.
Discord on Linux is one of the biggest reasons I stopped trying to switch to Linux. Not the only, and I know web apps are a thing. But I hate setting literally a web app when there’s a “native” app, but their native app was doubling all my back/forward button inputs, and high was a massive disruption.
It was far from the only reason, more like the final straw in a growing list of frustrating shit that ALMOST worked right.
That's weird, I've never had that issue
Windows Discord is also a web app.
Just gotta say, I didn't expect to see emojis in a username, and I am both appalled and impressed
