Forced arbitration means any legal disputes you may have with Discord must be resolved through a single third party mediator, who 99% of the time is chosen by, and will rule in favor of, the corporation/Discord. This effectively removes all your legal rights as a consumer, because arbitration decisions are legally binding and non-appealable.
The new ToS goes into effect April 15th, 2024.
YOU CAN OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. You must email [email protected] BEFORE MAY 15TH (30 days after ToS effective date) with your username stating that you wish to opt out of the arbitration clause. Once May 15th passes you are bound to arbitration with Discord forever.
Opt-out before it’s too late.
Well, they’re forcing ads on the free version now, so maybe Teamspeak is the place to be 😉
How’s Mumble these days?
Unironically have wanted to spin up a murmur server for a few months now. Maybe I’ll make that my project for the day.
Do it!
Last time it took me like a hr start to finish to setup one. Was pretty easy.
I did - biggest snag was permissions in docker container, then I couldn’t figure out how admin configuration was setup (who calls an admin account “SuperUser”?!). I kept giving the general join password prompt the admin pass, thinking that was the only credential and it would bind my account with admin rights. It was only when I read the fourth tutorial (yes, the first three were outdated or wrong, and the official docs were as useful as a doorstop) and they mentioned specifically “SuperUser” as the account, did I try that. Oh look, a new password field!

But after that, it was as expected.
Yes!!! I think I remember seeing that!

Better off with Matrix TBH. Yeah, it’s group audio is so so, but you can always use something else if need be.
Matrix is quite similar to (older) Discord and therefore a good (easy to switch to) alternative.
Does Teamspeak has a chat that can be browsed later on? Else it’s not useful for anything other than regular voice chat.
Rather I’d start renting a small vps and set up Matrix and if voice chat is not natively supported I’d also set up Teamspeak alongside.
