that’s pretty disappointing to hear. You’d think that they’d update the client to give it discord-like features since that’s clearly what people want.

I ran a TS3 server for years that we used and it was fine. Didn’t have the chat features we now have with discord but as a voip it was great.

Maybe I’m old but I feel like Teamspeak would be the best alternative.

Neither of those two examples are at all relevant to this platform and their entire section about Meta and the Fedverse is complete speculation. This community isn’t going anywhere even if they started acting hostile towards a decentralized platform as time went on. Having more communities on this platform is a net positive.

You’d rather have less people than more people on the platform?

Complicated and pointless. There’s no reason why you wouldn’t want more engagement.

That doesn’t bother me as long as the messages are encrypted end to end.

Isn’t Whatsapp encrypted end to end?

I guess I got comfortable with RES over the years because I rather enjoyed using it on my desktop.

So sad. Used it almost daily since 2011 and it worked perfectly. Best money I’ve ever spent on an app.
