Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing
-
Time to introduce my friends to the glory of TeamSpeak!
-
you can run an entire community within a Discord for free
Wonder how long this will last. Bet they are burning angel investors money up to now, going public is the first step towards having to become profitable.
-
You can integrate it with Jitsi (also self hosted) and call, screenshare and whatever else you want there.
-
They need to add voice rooms like discord/TS/mumble, where they are there in the sidebar and can be joined/left instantly.
Real-time game streaming like discord has is important also to get disord users to switch over.

As we all know, UI is a fundamental part of any piece of software's architecture and cannot be changed without a ground-up rewrite.

Ads in chats?

Oh I fully get you, and it is a problem, but at least enough of the people I know consider discord's behaviour problematic already that it would be possible to get things rolling with migrating smaller communities and friends
The big communities though? Yeah no. There's a reason Facebook is still used, it's used a lot for organizing things

I only use discord for stuff that doesn't provide an alternative. It's terrible for finding info and questions that have already been asked. Hopefully this will bring back actual forums, discord is not the place for support.

It shut down, didnt it?
-
It's been a number of years since I used it while playing Eve Online, but say it isn't so! I'm going to check now.
-
I know they had a terrible redesign last year and then it went all terribly down hill
-
mumble works very well and is foss as well.
-
Not very promising. What a shame.
-
Ah, haven't used that in a long while. I'll add that to the list to peddle to my mates as well. Thank you!
