I understand. It’s an unfortunate requirement since the community was built entirely around discord. It’s really the only thing I use discord for.

Discord required
Nope.

Makes sense, seems like most guilds now require discord. I just have no interest in being beholden to another enshitified service.

Sadly discord does make voice-comms quite simple.

TeamSpeak and Ventrilo still exist, Mumble does too, and Tox.
Trade offs for features and functionality with all of those, but I’m fairly sure those do all run on both Windows and Linux, at least, the latter 2 are open source.
Hell, back in like, 2009, me and a friend group just had an eternal Skype group call, used that for gaming voice comms and general chat.

They’ve been around since 2010, so it ended up being structured entirely astound discord. Other than this community, I really don’t have much use for discord.

Same. I think i’m too old to understand the point of discord.
natecox@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
I get the point, but I just don’t agree with it.
For example: I put some thought into finding a final fantasy 14 guild to help with putting together parties for content (so I don’t need to wait 40+ minutes for less common but mandatory ones) but virtually all the ones I found were “discord required”.
I just want someone to play content with occasionally, not a full time, always on community that demands I engage with it all the time.

We’ll make our own group, with matrix and hookers! On second thought, forget the hookers, keanu reeves is too wholesome for hookers, and will bring in enough friends for us all to sit shoulder to shoulder with as we take the red pills.
