Yesterday I was convincing my friends to use Mumble with me. Idk, it is really cool, lightweight and straight to the point
We need a XMPP gaming client
Cool, I’ll add it to my wiki page about Discord.
Discord sucks. Thankfully, Matrix devs are already working on their discordification.
Much of this has already been done. Element app just got 30million dollars and looks like it’s on the path to main stream adoption and tackle some of the bigtech out there. It would be great if lemmy and forums could hop on their coat tails for the ride
The meta Issue I linked has 2 out of 26 tasks done, which I’d hardly count as ‘much of this’.
and it was last edited 2.5 years ago, element has surely changed a lot since then.
Sure, Element has changed a lot, but not regarding the discordification discussed in the linked Issue. You can go through and compare, but most features on this list are prioritised for end of 2021/ start of 2022. They’re only getting traction since a year or so.
I’m following Matrix development closely and have written proprietary connectors to third party software. Matrix is great but there’s no feature parity with Discord yet. I don’t need it as I use Mumble for voice, Jitsi for video, both are already possible to integrate into Matrix.
But I also dislike you trying to disprove my point by an irrelevant metric. At least do your research before you claim a lot has changed when most of it is still work in progress. Matrix will be there™ very soon. It’s just not there now.
irrelevant metric? that’s an interesting reality you have going there, watch you don’t step outside cause it might break. You give no proof to your claims unlike I did. Looking at the list many of the unticked features have already been implemented. I could go through one by one with proof but won’t bother as you clearly have not either.
The age of an Issue is an irrelevant metric. The content is relevant.
where did I mention the age of an issue?
forget discord get on matrix!
Or mumble or jitsi! They are all cool
GNU Jami is also fine. Especially with low powered computers. One of my friends couldn’t open vscode and discord at the same time so we switched to GNU Jami with no problems. Audio quality a bit lower (they can’t use OPUS codecs) but otherwise very nice.
Revolt Chat looks promising. I’ve signed up for the beta. We’ll see how things go.
XMPP already supports encrypted audio calls which can be used for game chats and encrypted messaging. Just need a XMPP client designed for gaming
Thanks for your post!
