Comment on State of the Discord - A Lesson
femtek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoHosting costs money, maybe if you disable voice, video, uploads, and only allowed text it would be manageable but discord is free. I run my own chat server but it’s only for like 10 people.

At least voice and video are often done peer to peer. So the strain on the server would be almost zero.

There is still transcoding done thru the server, maybe depending on the app but the ones that use livekit it would.
