How come Matrix, Mumble and etc. aren't as used widely as they should be? Most normies communicate on platforms convenient and targeted for them, such as Messenger, Discord, etc.

  bandwidth and storage isn't free, it's not unreasonable to charge for higher quality streaming and bigger attachments. the paste thing is deliberate crippling though yeah

  By that you mean they deliberately cripple the regular usage of the client to make the experience artificially inconvenient and then paywall the proper non-crippled version.
  You can't send a message with +2000 characters on Discord, meanwhile XMPP allows to send base64 encoded binaries to your heart's content.

  Better yet, free software has it and isn't morally braindead.

  Nah, people in Fedi are weird, people in Discord behave like NPCs and retards that are too scared of offending each other.

  @jihadjimmy@the.asbestos.cafe @dushman@den.raccoon.quest To add, the only thing I ever hear about Discord nowadays is that all they do is add Nitro features and that's about it. That tells you a lot about them already, when FOSS can have all that stuff in the first place. Not to mention that people in Discord are weird as fuck

  The voice just works and you can get it to be much higher quality than pisscord. Also mumble servers only use like 7mb of RAM idling.

  @dushman It's been a while since I've heard the word "teamspeak". If I recall, it was used long before Discord was even a thing. I don't like how Discord rules the online communication, because there are already big bad points:
  - company shares belong to Tencent
  - not much encryption
  - milking users and bad culture

  It basically just open source teamspeak. Just works and it's very light.

  @jihadjimmy @dushman @fuzzylinuxuser if that's the angle you want to come at it from then I agree. incidentally has anyone actually used the peer to peer streaming on peertube? it seems like everybody disables it so it doesn't leak ips

  I missed the part where that's anyone's problem. This is only an issue because the whole service is centralized.
  Also they already do way more money selling data than from Nitro subscriptions.

  @meso @fuzzylinuxuser I have never noticed a memory leak on mumble before are you sure it's not just the packages your distro is putting in, debian stable probably has this fixed

  @fuzzylinuxuser They kinda just suck not Mumble Mumble is fine although it memory leaks and balloons up to gigabytes of RAM usage (make sure to check your system usage when running it and restarting it when it goes too high), not sure how they haven't fixed that yet or why it happens, though it's not a very significant issue at all and everything else about it is perfectly smooth. And Matrix needs no explaining. insecure, slow, heavy, borderline monopolized by Element.

  @kirby @fuzzylinuxuser are you sure? have you checked the resource usage? it might be the distro package, I don't know what the issue is caused by as there's very little about it online, but it's consistent across installations. I was really surprised when I opened the system resource viewer and saw the RAM usage, it's a very weird issue. try checking that after a few hours of running/talking (or like half an hour should be enough for a very noticeable increase), maybe it happens on your system too. I didn't notice until like a year of using it. it's not a very big issue I don't particularly care about it

  @meso @fuzzylinuxuser I never have but I can't recall a time where I was able to notice a memory leak for mumble on openbsd/debian.
