So, I’ve been having issues with voice chat on Discord and I’m looking for alternatives. In my search, I came across Mumble, here. Does anyone here have experience, or information regarding Mumble, or a better alternative to Discord with better latency? Is it relatively easy to set up? Is it safe? Any advice and help is greatly appreciated.

    No, they moved to Discord because there was a for-profit corporation that was extremely motivated to move people to Discord. Mumble is better in every way that an anti-consumerist cares about.

      This is incredibly reductive and at best looking at mumble through Rose tinted glasses.

      Mumble has had a rocky past as a useful piece of software and it’s absolutely not been a discord competitor any more than TeamSpeak is a discord competitor.

      Maybe it’s changed recently, but mumble has not had the feature set that made discord useful in the first place.

        Mumble never tried to get feature parity with discord. If all you’re using discord for is voice mumble is a perfectly adequate replacement.

          That might be true, but claiming that people only moved because they were propagandized into doing so by a for-profit company is absurd.
