Skype still doesn't have push to talk because it's not meant to be used as an always-on VoIP server like Ventrilo, Mumble, Teamspeak, or Discord. It's meant for short calls to discuss something, then everyone hangs up. It's not filling the same need as these other services.

>>332222172

The fact that you can't create private servers is a dealbreaker for me. Mumble, Teamspeak, Ventrilo, etc. monetize by selling first party servers to people. Discord is going to monetize by centralizing the entire service under their control and charging microtransactions for cosmetics. To that end, they will never allow anyone to host their own server and everything must go through them.

yes big worry for me too.
however they are very open in their development. they hinted at something in the future where you can host your own server and it only checks discord for valid accounts and security for joining purposes.
im not sure if this will be true though.
they could also just go full jew and take money from you for hosting "your" server on their site.

>Skype

I don't get it, and most importantly i don't get why anyone would want to use this piece of fucking bloated NSA spyware shit OUTSIDE of it's original scope : quick vocal calls, similar to a phone, or webcam to webcam. It was never meant to be an efficient software for people playing fucking video-games and the implications behind it (PTT, good chat etc).

It's bad. The codecs are shit. It's spies on you. It use a unnecessary amount of RAM and CPU. Why in thell would you use Skype ?

As for Discord, it's also shit. It's closed source. All your data and infos are centralized on one fucking server, god knows where, and god knows with what levels of security. And if you are a good goyim, and these things aren't enough to convince yourself : Tencent is also behind Discord. Avoid like the fucking plague.

Use.

You.

Twitch fad.

Pander to twitch.

Twitchers pander to other twitchers.

Profit.

What it comes down to is that a lot of people fail to see that there's a difference between Peer-to-Peer IM clients and Server-Client applications like Discord.

For the lone end-user, PtP like Skype is just way better, as they can connect without much setup and in any sort of variety or combination they need.

Server/Client stuff like Discord or Mumble is only more worthwhile for a set event/group/organization that has more or less a set topic, task or area.

So there's some merit to it appealing to twitchers because a channel is a tangible thing you can set a Discord server up around, but it's by no means really something that should appeal to individuals.

You also have to drag people around group calls instead of just allowing people to drop in and out on their own.

>skype has absolute dogshit call quality
That depends on who is hosting the call and how many people are in it. me and 2-3 buddies chat in skype all the time and unless i'm the one hosting the call since i have shit up speeds, the quality is crystal clear (when I host they say I sound clear, and they sound clear to me, but they say they all sound like robots to each other).

Mumble, it's free and open source.
>>
>>332224036
- Garbage audio
- Resource hog
- No mic sensitivity options (enjoy that white noise)
- Have to drag people all over instead of having a drop in and out chat
- Have to add people to get them in, instead of just sending an address for them to connect to
- Makes your IP visible to the host or if you are the host
- Harder to have group discussions, different groups are infinitely inferior to the channel system of teamspeak/ventrilo

It is not designed to be used for constant chat like other services, it's like a cell phone for quick "hey whats going on" conversations or quick meetings. The fucking white noise drives me insane after long periods of silence.

Audio quality is undistinguished between Vent/TS/Mumble unless you are packing some good hardware, and they all have the same basic functions (channels with passwords and usernames.) So it all just comes down to preference, personally I prefer TS because of how customizable channels are, as well as user permissions.

Mumble uses opus. You currently won't find a better lossy audio codec. Don't know about TS.

I don't know what to tell you, dude. A lot of shit is marketed towards a lot of people. You act like you stuck in the past where playing games isn't mainstream or something.

Discord is a good program, despite the labeling. Its a good alternative to Skype, especially for me, since Skype doesn't like to fucking work with me no matter what I do. Its not an awful program, but ever since Microsoft acquired it, its been way less responsive and shitty.

Because it's a good program that's shaping up to be great when it's already unfinished. People have a tendency to recommend good things.

We have an in-game voice chat, we have Steam voice chat, two options everyone has installed and ready to go, yet if it's not one guy who refuses to use anything but Skype it's another guy that insists 50 people sign up to his shitty TS3 server with an incomprehensible password and 65 rooms.

This whole "gamer oriented" thingy. Oozing with memes.

No plans whatsoever to allow dedicated server hosting. Not even for private companies which could be a weak argument for their honesty.

Business model with selling skins looks like exactly what are you supposed to say to investors to sell your shit.

Occasional voice servers blackouts.

There are appropriate times to make fun of "gamer" branding but Discord honestly does offer features that many "power users" do appreciate. It's classic features that came with old VoIP clients like Vent and Team Speak with P2T, channels, moderators, etc. but with modern ease and appearance of a well designed client.

It's certainly an application that caters to people who play games and their needs, learn to think before you regurgitate what you learned everyone else laughs at on the internet.

A man who is over 5 million USD in debt and being hounded by the Japanese government to pay those debts, buys ownership of 4chan for over 4 million USD. the site has NEVER made a profit according to Moot, and no major changes have occurred visibly to make a profit, so where is this money coming from? You're a fool if you think he bought it out of some love for the site (he blatantly knew nothing about it when he did Q&A's)

Steam text chat, but no one uses the voice chat in Steam. It's awful and entirely featureless.

And just to be clear, these clients aren't for chatting with randos you encounter on a random server you join; you would use the in-game chat in those cases. If you have a solid group of people who you frequently play with you would use something like one of the clients.

Discord is nice, the only problem with it is. For some reason it drops my voice constantly and the ping fluctuates. Which doesn't happen with Skype, teamspeak, or vent.

I used to use Skype with a friend, I like Discord a lot more for how we use it. Don't have to call, has native PTT support, quality is good, I like it a lot more than skype.

For my other larger group of friends we use teamspeak though, I like teamspeak as well, lot better than ventrilo.

It's also real cheap to rent servers. I can't host one myself due to shitty internet always going in and out throughout the day, so I didn't want it to mess up for my friends.
I rent one for just about $1 a month.

>>332229060
That and they're open to trying to produce the kind of program people want out of it. The fact that they're so keen on getting more Skype-like features to the program is pretty telling.

I certainly didn't mind switching off my Vent server for it.
>>
>>332221123
Easy to use and you and your friends pretty much never have to worry about communication again.

It's funny how I just start the computer and I'm already talking with friends instantly. Never having to worry about going to the ts server or making a Skype call. Yeah there probably are better options, but I see nothing wrong with Discord, simple and easy to use, once it gets webm support, it will be GOAT.

It's p2p and FOSS.
Since you don't have a centralized account system you currently need to manually copy over your account file if you intend to use it on multiple devices. The only client I know of that supports this is qTox, but I haven't checked in some time.
Otherwise it functions pretty much the same.

>It's also real cheap to rent servers

This. My guild is currently paying 3x as much as a Mumble server to rent a fucking Teamspeak 3 server that has higher latency and worse audio quality.

Pisses me off.

Skype may be shit but at least you can fucking quote messages with it and you have a permanent chatlog you can ctrl+F back through, unlike discord.
>>
>>332222045
This is the most bullshit thing I have ever heard the reason i use skype is because nothing else has voice quality as good as skype and I hate it since everything else has more features.
>>
>>332222045
Why do people spread this false information? Or are you literally a third worlder with garbage internet? Skype has much better call quality than mumble, TS, Discord, Curse, or Ventrillo.

I'm working on a Engineering group project and one guy suggested an app called Slack to organize our shit and what not. Its IDENTICAL to Discord except with only text channels. Like its the same down to the layout. One of these copied the other, and I think Slack came first.

Its nice too because we can just link new people in chat and they can join up in a matter of seconds. Works in browser too which is cool
>>
>>332232293
They are adding calls in the next feature update, and screen sharing/video after that.
>>
>>332232293
Next patch for discord adds the entire call feature, and video sharing i think. It's partially the reason they added friend's list.

You can disable the ads in skype easily if you're not a mouth breather.
