      First time I’ve heard of it. Just seems like a Discord clone, and there’s no real reason not to use discord to chat

      Tried it for a bit… It’s just not there yet. And in the end I wanted something I could self host like in the old days of Mumble and Teamspeak.

      Went with a private matrix and element instance.

        Have you been able to get screensharing with audio to work on Element? I haven’t been able to determine if it’s in Element Desktop or not. My understanding is that it has worked on some browsers, but I’m not sure about the electron app.

          I haven’t used it. I’m following a couple relevant threads on github and it seems to be an in-progress issue that nonetheless is intended to be a fully implemented feature.

      I hadn’t kept up with the changes to Discord’s naming system, but I had notived they reverted from the USERNAME#0000 to just USERNAME which seems better, was it a good change?

      I remember BattleNET having the same type of usernames.

        The issue with this change was, that someone who was previously named Mike for instance with a discriminator, has to now choose something else for instance: “Mike372”. Discord claims this is a better and a less confusing system, when it really just boils down to the same thing. Making matter worse they claimed all Mike usernames are taken, so #0001 to #9999 which also later turned out to be false, it was just their site choosing a random discriminator, which when it was already taken told you: “This username is already taken.”, when in reality there were still available discriminators.
