Still closed source proprietary software, but good for them.

    Still better than Discord's age verification

    Until it's just as bad. Just move to Stoat (formerly Revolt) or Fermi.chat and save yourself the headache of another centralized platform going to shit.

    Neither of those have working audio channels yet right?

    I've been following Stoat, their documentation states that self hosted voice channels don't work (I think their official server does though), and also you have to recompile their client software to hard code the link to your server.

    That feels so much like niche coder hobbyist hurdles that I really doubt people en masse would make the switch by themselves.

  • Yeah I'm really hoping they just add a button in the client to connect to a custom server (like how Bitwarden works), as well as actually update the self hosting images and instructions. I've been keeping tabs on them for almost a year now, and still no progress on that front.

    As someone else said, stoat isnt federated. It also doesnt have E2EE. Meaning in practice, you are still using a centralized service that can enshitify. You could self host, but your friends aren't going to switch to your small self hosted instance if everyone is on the central server.

    Team speak? What year is it?
    I remember hosting a teamspeak server for folks I played Wolfenstein: ET with. In the early 2000's.

    Jesus, it's like !anythingbutmetric@discuss.tchncs.de: MFs will really do anything to avoid switching to an alternative that's actually Free Software.

    Is there a free software with voice chat and screen sharing? I am searching for one.

    Matrix has VC, but not sure about screen sharing.

    I think Jitsi Meet can do screen sharing, but that's a separate platform from Matrix dedicated to video calls, although I think Matrix clients can integrate with it IIRC.

    Element call (Matrix) has screen share, Signal does as well.

    Apparently it doesn't really support audio with screen sharing. I do want to share the audio as well so i can watch youtube and stremio with friends

    Having tried it:

    Voice chat is flawless

    Video chat/streaming is arguably better than discord*

    Text chat leaves a LOT to be desired. Its there, I guess.

    *on linux YMMV

    Have they released the server parts of TS6 yet? Last I checked, it wasn't available on the download page.

    good because it looked like it was designed in the 1940s

    Reading their site has me a little confused. Do you have to pay to rent a server if all you want to do is make a group to voice chat with a few friends?
