Its looking like Microsoft is gonna buy Discord. Preferably open source, and has a big userbase, and has Windows and Linux option. (but mainly windows because i only game on windows now.)

    Curious, why do you look for alternative due to Microsoft buying Discord if you need it for Windows anyways ? Also While Mumble and Element/Matrix are fine alternatives, issue is common people do not use them. At best some game groups do use Mumble or Open-source / Free software people might use Element, but very few… not big user bases.

      you dont get a big choice with OS’ but there is choice with voice calls and text chats, its just reducing data collection to the minimum for me atleast. if microsoft wasnt “threatening” to buy discord (or some other company) id have been happy enough with the state of privacy and security on disocrd. (but E2EE in dms would be nice.) (i only use windows for gaming anyway, because of auto opt-in stats collection you cant switch off.)
