IRC + Mumble.
We had these things in 2007
Comment on Discord began blocking servers with information prohibited in the Russian Federation
halva@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months agoplease do show me a single messaging platform that can easily and sanely house a population of >50k people on the same server, and allows that for absolutely free, while providing reasonably high quality voice messaging and streaming with negligible latency

Why would I ever want that?
I can’t think of a single instance where I want to be messaging 50k people at once

While discord doesn’t necessarily cost money, it for sure also isn’t free. In fact it’s the reddit problem but way worse. A proprietary non-searchable database with all content fully licensed to discord including the right to sub-license. At least, Reddit had an API and is still searchable through their public facing http. I mean I get people don’t want their group messages readable by everyone, bit for large groups, it makes sense.

No it does not.
The Group chat is a chat.
The public chat is basically a never ending forum post with 100 pages.
