    I don’t know what they’re even doing. TeamSpeak/Mumble is not a replacement for Discord. There’s no separate text channels in addition to the voice ones. It’s just a VOIP program. If you move from Discord to one of those you’re either in addition fundamentally changing your way of thinking or you’re in for disappointment.

    For one there’s no “public communities” as with Discord. Here are the biggest servers from mumist.eu:

      Discord was originally a replacement for teamspeak/mumble and it’s how most people I actually know still use it. It was “nice” because you didn’t need to set up your own server. Using it as a replacement for irc came later. Image support in chats is nice, but I really only use it for the voip chat rooms.

        That’s the thing, for me Discord replaced Slack. I never used the voice chat feature of Discord. I had family, friend group, interest group Slack servers to chat, all was eventually moved to Discord.

        Meanwhile I still use Mumble for voice chat, Discord never replaced Mumble for me, it was a replacement for chat groups, which I previously used Slack for.

          That’s interesting since you were already using slack, did you just switch due to network effect or are there additional features in discord?

            I started using Discord because I was joining communities that were on Discord, and at some point I no longer wanted to use two similar chat apps, so it was simpler to only use Discord.

            Discord did have one big advantage over Slack though, in that you can switch between servers within 1 browser tab easily. Slack servers are completely separated and if you are on 4, you realistically need to keep 4 Slack browser tabs open.

      You’re describing teamspeak 3. It’s on version 6 now and has those features.
