Who goes there ?
Nothing fancy, I just run this docker image which allows streaming to via OBS, and we can watch the streams with VLC. I’m sure there are better ways to do it but that works well enough for us. Do note that a few seconds of latency is to be expected with RTMP.
My guess is that it would be difficult to find a piece of software that does all the stuff discord does. But I also think it’s a non-issue. You could split these needs onto multiple solutions. My group uses mumble for gaming voicechat, Signal for group conversations, and a simple rtmp server for streaming. We don’t need nor use discord and never did.
I like the idea of a single piece of software that does one job well instead of a giant powerhouse that does everything.
Seconding this, just use mumble. It’s self-hosted free and open source software, easy on resources, provides very low latency, and it’s very stable and reliable.
The client might look a little dated but I still love it. I don’t care for stupid electron apps, which every modern application seems to be.
I’m proud of fellow lemmy users for downvoting this to oblivion, where all AI crap belongs.
Mumble is so underrated. It does one job and but does it very well.
Putting everything on discord makes information unsearchable via search engines, which is objectivily not great. This recent habit is contributing to killing the web.
On a more subjective note, I just don’t like it. On the top of my head : Confusing interface, wont’ shut up about nitro, requires a phone number.
Most kids today don’t know how to use a computer, but old farts like me use yt-dlp.
