    I tried spinning up a Mimble server recently and people just wouldn’t go for it. It works really well but setup and user experience in general is not as friendly, despite great sound quality. We had to move back to discord. I’m not sure what to do as Discord is going to surely get worse with their need to make money.

      The popular opinion on Lemmy seems to be Discord sucks, but in my experience, it is far and away the most complete and feature rich chat platform for gamers. Privacy aside, it’s better. That is why it’s so hard to get everyone off it, besides the network effect.

      That said, I’m still trying to get my friends off of it (They seem to be open to trying Signal). They don’t care about all those features for the most part, so maybe I have a chance.

      Fluxer is a really good open source alternative, if you’re ever trying to move a community off Discord that one is probably your best bet.
