      As an old: You kids and your TeamSpeak … back in my day Ventrilo, and we were happy to have it! (uphill both ways or something about my lawn).

        You think that’s old? Let’s talk ICQ.

          I’m that old too!

          But that’s way before I started real online gaming, where Vent was during the peak of my online gaming days.

          This is the part where my mom would mention party lines.

          In some rural areas there was something like not every house had a unique phone number, but as a side effect you could just pick up the phone and talk to all the people on that same party line at once.

            I lived in a rural area and the nearest phone for emergencies belonged to one house that lived a quarter mile away.

            The owner of the phone got hooked on WoW on dial-up at some point and basically ended the party line for everyone.

              Squatting on a party-line to play WoW is just a wild pairing of technological eras to me. If we go by the invention date of the former they’re more than a century apart (1878).

              Also: rude!

        Is it even looking for black and white / greyscale photos?

        What if I give it a B&W of my own face? 🤔

          I assume they fixed it, but I heard a few months ago gmod models were working.

        My dad wanted us to roll his ashes into a joint and smoke him.

        We respected his wishes to be cremated, but I’m sorry daddy, I don’t think anyone’s gonna be smoking your ashes…

    Matrix + Element.

    It’s open source, decentralized (federated), supports voice/video, roles, persistent rooms, and you can self-host if you want full control. It’s basically the only thing that feels like a real discord replacement without being locked into one company’s servers.

      I installed this yesterday and couldn’t find one room related to video games that had any chat messages in the past few years. I put a message in anyway, but not optimistic.

    I stood my ground on not using this useless software for like 10 years. If there was no in-game chat or voice I just didn’t, but almost all games where that is necessary have it.

    How validated I feel as it crumples.

    You can already pretend to be a kid in a room with other kids on discord! There’s a HUGE CSAM problem on it.

    I’m checking out fluxer but it’s getting hug of death right now. Root also looks promising but they are closed source and VC backed which gives me pause.

      Until you give them your official government ID, you’re 13 as far as discord is concerned
