Some friends invited me to play Minecraft and talk through this shit app called Discord, in the first time I don’t like it, but now is definitely not an option. Which others apps do you recommend for this?
SonoBus for voice chat.
It’s peer to peer, just works on everything, sound better than Discord and most importantly, is 100X less annoying because latency is so low.
I think it was designed for remote music collaboration, hence it feels like you’re talking to your friend in the room. No awkward interruption of pauses from the audio delay.
s peer to peer
Were just getting full circle back to the og Skype days again lol
Yep.
Internet is “good enough” for P2P these days. I get not everyone is in a great living situation, but a 600K connection is an outlier at this point.
I’ve been using meet.jit.si for dnd with friends. It’s been great. At least one person has to hand over some identity info if using the public server but it is self hostable so you can bypass that entirely if wanted.

they ever fix the scrolling? i could not stand the magical, paper-thin nature of the scroll bars
In Element-web or Element-desktop? I’m not sure about Desktop, but Web used the default scrollbar size as defined by your web browser.
Teamspeak, steam chat, done other app like telegram. You can use so many different apps these days
Definitely not Telegram. Please stop suggesting people use this fucking disgrace of an application.
I heard even Viber is better than Telegram
I agree, do not trust russian based software because they definitely install backdoors.
I mean, so do US companies, but it’s moreso that kind of misdirection about E2EE that Telegram uses. Unlike something like Matrix/Element which goes out of it’s way to explain E2EE, make sure it’s default on in every conversation, including group conversations, Telegram isn’t clear that it’s E2EE is opt-in and isn’t available in groups. Also, their encryption is home-rolled and to my knowledge has never been audited. Plus the generally skeevy credentials of the owner/creator make it untrustworthy.
Also, it seems to be a haven for scammers, which also puts it in the “don’t suggest this to people” basket.

The problem is not the lack of alternatives but the lack of users using the alternatives
