Lol, I tried using Discord garbage 2 or 3 times, just can't see why people like it. It was an awful experience every time. Convoluted, unintuitive UI, terrible software from a performance and stability standpoint. Seemed like software designed by committee with no clear objectives, and then coded by one schizophrenic dev who was just learning programming.
It's staggering to me it's as successful as it is.
I never got the fact that Discord uses the "server" name for what is effectively a hub.
I use Discord every week, when me and my friend are gaming.
Before that we used Steam's built in system, and before that I hosted my own Mumble server.
Discord is decent, it makes it super easy to stream to stream you monitor to others in your hub, that is a brilliant feature.
Steam is fine for one on one chat, a bit more complicated than needed with group chats last time I used it.
Mumble has excellent voice quallity.
Internally / in their documentation, they actually refer to servers as "guilds".
That is a way better term
