    ? Mumble is text chat also.

      Oh, I suppose. My experience with mumble is 12 years out of date, but I recall that you generally plan to use Mumble in advance rather than contact somebody through mumble.

        Noob. Gotta have somebody host the mumble server 24/7. Persistent private chat with images amongst your buddies.

        And absolutely destroyed by discords reaction gifs and emojis.

  Same thing that’s wrong with Teamspeak and the other old standby, IRC:

  A dated look and lack of shinies like inline GIFs scares the youngsters, the lack of history/persistence drops everyone else.

  Ah, the many logging bots of IRC.

    history/persistance is the problem; I don’t think anyone seriously cares about inline GIFs.

        I don’t see anything wrong in preferring a higher level of expression through GIFs or whatever.

      Well fuck me if history/persistence isn’t really a problem in an age when we were being warned the government was spying on everything.
