What does Sup Forums think so far about Discord?
What do you like?
What do you hate?
What changes do you want with it?

Do you think it will beat most competition on the next year?

but.. teamspeak just works.

proprietary scam

>but.. discord just works.
I take it you've not even given discord a chance.

>I don't like anything that I'm not allowed to tinker with even tho I don't know how to anyways
Any good coder doesn't care about this. You clearly suck at coding or you wouldn't care.
>scam
Please explain

wow, so agressive. are you Discord's marketing guy butthurt that nobody uses your software?

>agressive
>I'm asking why you don't like it
>gets mad that I'm not even mad
Dude, I'm legit asking what's wrong and people are getting mad at me for asking.

>marketing guy
lol I wish, I'd have a job at least.
>no one uses it
then explain why there's over 1M on it? and growing everyday?

works. fast. looks good. nice features. dont need to host your own server or pay for one if you are dumb

good shit desu

I think if you are the initial creator of the server, you should be allowed to host as backup incase the main servers go down.

Pretty good but UI is shit.

It lets you incorporate your own bots.

why is it called Discord, senpai?

It's like IRC but worse.

It's good. Some Skype functionality is missing I really care about and have to workaround (video calls, private one-on-one calls), but it's scheduled for release in near future.

The servers were never down when I tried to use it. I did not encounter any bug (on Win 10) Mobile client is decent with few weird UI decisions (on Android).

I dunno.

>but worse
Care to explain at least

>to release
good you pay attention

At least you're not salty like the others.

Discord is shit because I will never trust these faggots with snooping on all my communication data.

Why would I when I can just use mumble with higher voice quality and infinitely better security?

botnet

I bet you said that when mumble came out.

Bot•net
a network of private computers infected with malicious software and controlled as a group without the owners' knowledge, e.g., to send spam messages.

Do you even know what botnet is user?

That doesn't even make any sense. Either you replied to the wrong poster or you're somewhat technologically illiterate.

Mumble lets you create your own encryption certificates and gives full control of all your data since you can host it on your own machine. Security should be the top priority for ANY communication service. Its that simple.

You didn't read it in context of what I said then.
I bet you said the same thing when Mumble came out originally. (see your 2nd line)

Because it was primarily made for the voice chat and one of the definitions is loud sound, and it also was intended to dethrone team speak and mumble as the primary voice chat programs and cause a discord.

It would be nice if they gave the users the ability to run their own servers, completely disconnected from Discords servers.
I would actually pay for that, since everyone I play video games with like using discord.

exactly, i saw it on the feedback channel something like that. but it had hardly any votes. Underrated desu

I don't use it.
I don't plan to use it.
I'm hosting a mumble server for my friends and I on an older computer.
I wish mumble had a persistent chat log but I figured I'll just shit out a bot that copies everything and saves it somewhere else.

Why would they ever want to let you self host? That way they won't be able to harvest and sell user data which is obviously how they make their money.

>namefagging
>promoting nonfree software
>not knowing what a Sup Forums botnet is
Fuck off

The program itself is nice but I wouldn't feel comfortable using it for anything more important than gayme chat. The company hosts their own servers, the product itself is free and they have to somehow make money. I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling user data or just trying to gain enough popularity to sell the company to someone else and cash out.

I really like the program, it functions really well and is user friendly for my normie friends.
Hopefully they'd just let me buy the server software. Too bad my upload speed is shit anyway.

>I'm salty and don't know how to be anything else
No u

from what I understand, they have backers and they plan on doing some microtransaction on it. I've noticed more companies doing this and it makes theim a shit load of money at this point. seems to be easier to give free shit out and charge for DLC basically

scam

several millions in funding, does this look like a multi million dollar app?
someone linke the thread on the r4p3 forums about all the dirt on discord it's ridiculous what the people behind this app has done

Mumble is better

I'd like to see this said proof.
>I'm on r4p3
>I have any room to judge
really dude?

They actually made all their money from venture capitalism and are currently sitting on a mountain of it. What happens when that money inevitably runs out is the question though.

>tfw host a Sup Forums server
>fuck all meme spouting freetard autists out
>have a prospering server for a good half year

discord is based. i've met a lot of cool fuckers from here through discord. that alone is worth it desu

also, reply if you want an invite

Send a friend an invite.

Give the invite.

There's a bug on the mobile app where certain sized images crashes the entire client.

discord.gg/pr7kYBa

That doesn't even make sense

I like the offline messages and cross-platformness of it.

how the fuck does it not make sense you idiot?
When mumble came out, whatever you were on then, you more than likely said the same thing about Mumble you're saying about discord. There's no way you're this retarded.

You're replying to different fags now, but as the faggot you initially replied to, I meant it doesn't make sense because like 10 or so years ago or whenever Mumble was released there was literally no other self hosted VOIP with proper encryption, and to be desu I can't even name a single alternative today either.

I only use it to check different "community chats", otherwise I'm using mumble.

OK then. The only other service that does any type of encryption now is Facebook chat. Literally google it.

>I think the gov cares about me fapping to loli and tranny porn
dude, unless you're trafficking drugs, gun or CP, they more than likely do not care what you talk about on any service.

Actually pulling the nothing to hide argument. Fucking hell.

meh you know how most of Sup Forums is

either leaked Sup Forums scum or freetard autists.

no way you can reason with these fucks

>i have nothing to hide
classic

oh no not at all, I'm not saying you don't. I'm just saying that the gov doesn't care about Sup Forums users who aren't doing anything stupid. Sure make an acc, use a VPN and be user. I'm not saying you shouldn't hide yourself. Fuck, I'm sure that almost 3/4 of this board torrents everything and does more sketchy shit. I'm just saying, if you're not doing something the gov cares about.. That's my point.

Sup Forums -
"EVERYTHING HAS TO BE FREE! NOT JUST FRE E BUT IT HAS TO BE OPEN SOURCE AND NON-PROPRIETARY TOO! WHAT? IT'S SOMETHING NEW? I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS AND I CAN'T DO REASEARCH CAUSE IM A SHIT AND AFRAID OF NEW! WHAT? I CAN'T CUSTOMIZE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL OF IT? NOOOOO! I DON'T WANT IT! MOM! I NEED MORE MT DEW AND DURRITOS! MY WOW FRIENDS ARE WAITING ON ME!"He then snorts a line of durrito dust off his desk.

Stop shilling Erik, it's against the rules. This isn't reddit.

Don't forget to sage and report, people.

>It's good. Some Skype functionality is missing I really care about and have to workaround (video calls, private one-on-one calls), but it's scheduled for release in near future.

Good news about that. I use the Discord PTB and one on one and group calling was recently added! (Tested it out too, it works. Would be nice to have Skype similar features with groups/calls tho). After this update, I hope video/screen sharing won't be far behind.

do you know if it's going to be out next major update?

It's not just about muh gubernment surveillance, but preventing companies from collecting all kinds of data on you that they in turn sell or end up in fucking data leaks that happen all the fucking time, preventing ID theft and all kinds of shit. I don't see the point in risking that when lower risk alternatives exist.

Calling? I hope so. I'd say there is a very high probability.

I can't see that happening to a common user. Someone who inputs a shit load of data, sure. but more than likely someone will put a plugin out for that at some point. You don't know if someone is doing that or not
>data mining is TERRIBLE
Most people don't realize how this even works. With out this, we wouldn't have the new shit we have now. Hell, even when you goto the same place all the time to eat, they data mine you. They know what you like and bring you it basically. They don't care about your PERSONAL data like your house, your car, your debit number, they are looking for interests and applying it to things like amazon and other companies to make shit better for you
>If I want something the way I want ILL TELL THEM MYSELF!!!!!@$!#%@$^

>just let it happen to you
try harder

Like there isn't someone on this site that is doing exactly that in all the generals. If they are smart anyways.

Vaike you shilling motherfucker
Still love you

Only the update process at the startup is shit, the rest is great imo

Filter'd.

Try harder next time, pajeet.

>I dont know how to debate or argue with another person back so I run away

Security by obscurity is never good.
Also, the cringy marketing ("XD why do you use TS, Discord is good, why don't you use Discord") judt turns me off.

I want the settings to be accessible and configurable before making an account and signing in

>all this people replying to /r/Sup Forums bait
At least this thread keeps the idiots contained.

Damn those quads of truth.

Check'd

This is so sad ;-;

Your post makes no sense
Also, check'em

who are you lmao

Literally Sup Forums the chat platform

I'll @you with a love heart now

Where can I download the source code of Discord?
Is it non-free software?

if you had the source code, what would you do with it?

First read it, and then possibly run my own server.

Oh, and immediately patch out all the spyware botnet cancer, i.e. Google Analytics, Twatter and "crazyegg" tracking

so in other words, you just want it to want it...

oh look Sup Forums here shuddup now
feedback.discordapp.com/forums/326712-discord-dream-land/suggestions/10431165-make-it-open-source

I'd _consider_ using it with the obvious botnets removed.
Then again I'm quite happy with my own IRC server and Ricochet.

does this help at all?discordapp.com/developers/docs/intro

Good shit, me and all my mates changed from skype to discord.
literally the only problem i have is that when i open it it stays on top of all of my open windows
SHITS FUCKED

it isn't Sup Forums-freetarded tier.

So it's a good software.

>but.. teamspeak just works.
Trash interface, terrible user experience. Why do Sup Forums-men like using clunky software?

Perfect if you're the kind of sheep who suffers from Stockholm syndrome, loves being spied on, plays proprietary video games and runs Wintendo.

Absolute cancer. I'd choose my own mumble server over it any day.

>I think I'm cool because I'm linux and I don't play games
>What's it like to have friends?

>Perfect if you're the kind of sheep who suffers from Stockholm syndrome, loves being spied on, plays proprietary video games and runs Wintendo.


Or you aren't an autist basement man who cares about any of that, maintains a healthy group of friends and still plays video games in his down time.

Stock·holm syn·drome
noun
feelings of trust or affection felt in certain cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim toward a captor.

Can someone explain how this is us?

Reminder that discord devs browse Sup Forums and actually shill in these threads. Hey Jake.
What do you expect from shady fucks who are running on millions of venture capitalist money, having a shitty platform that stole rhe slack design and appeals to the normie and gayming audience with their "just werkz" client that is barely held together.

Windows is non-free software and as such holds the user hostage.

Because the creator is a fan of MLP.

>It’s time to ditch Skype and TeamSpeak.
Why? It's better because... ?

Nobody actually cares tho man. It does just work. It does its job. Keep being disgruntled I guess

>Nobody
One counter-example suffices to disprove your universal claim.

Doesn't webcam yet.

considering how fucking heavy those are for 1.
I know I cannot speak for you guys but I'm on an 8 year old PC with 3GBs of ram. Kill me now senpai.

this.

soon tho. At least we have 1 to 1

So when will we get a web front for mumble?
Year Linux desktop?

>I know I cannot speak for you guys but I'm on an 8 year old PC with 3GBs of ram
Ok, fair enough. But eight gigs can be considered de-facto standard right now.

Pros:
- Free
- Simple
- Decent "rich" chat program with voip on top

Cons:
- Botnet
- Expected usage scenario forces you to share your identity across all servers
- Voice is halfassed and limited
- No support for hotkeys other than ptt
- No channel linking
- No channel nesting
- No support for elaborate setups such as this wiki.mumble.info/wiki/ACL_and_Groups/English#MMORPG_Raid
- No support for voice whispers / channel shouts
- The entire permissions system is a joke
- No support for custom authentication wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Authenticators
- Can't host my own server
- Will inevitably add stupid microtransactions once they run out of funding

you forgot "just werks"

like Apple
