Is Discord a Botnet?
I need a good alternative to TS3, nobody want to host [spoiler]or pay[/spoiler] anymore and "public" servers are shit.

Just use mumble.
Why would you ask about botnet on /g/? Everything that is closed source is considered a botnet here.

curse voice
If you can stand the occasional scattering of LE GAYMUR HUMOR XDDDDD throughout the UI, you're fine.
Just use Tox. It's free software.

is that still under development? wasn't there talk of it being abandoned a while ago?

Mumble is easily the best option right now.
If you absolutely cannot use Mumble, Discord is a good alternative but keep in mind there's no guarantee that it'll respect your freedoms. It's not open source so it's a mystery what it actually does with your information.

The Jews tho, dey be stealing muh data
new question: how do I get my friends to use Mumble?
>>52487356
Yes it's still under development. But now that I look at it, it doesn't seem like group audio calls work very well yet. So nevermind.

Discord is pure trash, and probably a botnet.
>random disconnects
>sound randomly stops working, only way to fix is to log in again
>UI is trash
>muh autojoin

Everything closed source may as well be.

well at least it's still being worked on. maybe someday we'll finally have a proper replacement for skype
Use mumble or pay 12 fucking € a year for a good server

Get a free amazon server and host a mumble server for your friends.

I already host a server, but they are accustomed to Skype and Teamspeak (esp. the quick image sharing through skype)
I like using discord
