What does Yea Forums use to voice chat with fellow gamers online..?
Those other programs won't replace Discord. Discord is popular because you can access servers in your browser, via the standalone desktop program, or on mobile. It's also popular because it's as easy to use as "download, join server." FOSS programs frequently forget about the third type of freedom: time. Discord lets you get up and running right away with zero configuration.

Thomas Garcia
you can be a special snowflake all you want, but thats not gonna stop discord from being the easiest to use and incredibly convenient
Jordan Miller
tox is incredibly easy to use and is not nearly as bloated
Connor Bell
fpbp
Sebastian Morales
I used to use mumble but my friend's coworkers were too fucking stupid to set it up properly. I eventually just stopped hosting our server and we moved to discord.
Jayden Ortiz
I already use this with a few friends, but I'll never use it as my primary IM, I prefer Wire to talk to my close friends a family.
Lucas Morales
Duckduckgo.
Julian Watson
fuck off shill, back to
John Long
What's bloated about Discord? I have two processes for a combined total of 120MB of RAM which is literally nothing in 2019. There would be literally no benefit to shrinking the footprint any more than that.
Camden Evans
Start the trend then. People are so lazy
Dominic Jackson
No thanks, I don't have any issues using Discord so I'm not going to shill for another company while sitting alone in a "Tox" server.
Michael Watson
Normies are herd animals, they'll only do something if everyone else is already doing it. It's the kids who start the trends, adult normies simply follow them.
Dylan Stewart
is it normal if i used the mobile version of discord and it somehow burnt some of its ui into my screen?
Connor Anderson
I've used it before, but I have no friends.
Christopher Cook
That's why you're on Yea Forums with every other loser who can't have sex LMAO
Connor Bennett
People do not care about privacy or what rights are taken from them.
Humans would trade their souls if it became more convenient.
People know Facebook is recording everything they do in their home via camera and audio if the app is installed and they still don't care because to stop using it is a bother.

Not really, the world isn't black and white you autist.
Elijah Carter
You're here too.
Matthew Garcia

Levi Torres
gen z kids literally grew up giving away all their personal information online no wonder they don't care about that stuff
Dominic Howard
>muh privacy why do people constantly try to distance themseves from sites and services in fear that they'll steal their data when virtually anything technological does that? Your ISP has your data, the government has every little thing you do online on record, Hiro's been ratted out for selling data on this site multiple times before. Why do you people care about this stuff when you're being sucked of your 'privacy' from like 20 sources at the moment?

I don't talk to people. Haven't done so since 7 years.

Have sex, incel
Sebastian Ward
>What's bloated about [Electron desktop app #632] gee, I wonder
Elijah Ortiz
You're too kind, user, but please, you take care of your own virginity before helping your fellow incels LOL. You've earned it!
Luis Garcia
Seriously, have sex, I'm cringing over here with how oblivious you are.
Hudson Sullivan
Well those aren't the best example since they are all made as VoIP programs and not whatever you call that clusterfuck of features that discord is
Cooper Carter
>privacy Have you ever considered that maybe most people don't their vidya-related shitposting to be sensitive information?
Eli Rivera
Already got you covered bud. But please, make your single mother proud and at least hire a hooker or something just so she isn't thinking of how much of a failure her incel son is on her death bed!
Ryder Butler
Nobody was screaming about anything until you showed up, you fuckin autist
Ryan Cooper
I'm begging you, have sex for your own mental health. Maybe you'll stop coming to Yea Forums once you start having sex.
Isaac Cook
>Maybe you'll stop coming to Yea Forums once you start having sex. That sounds an awful lot like an admission of virginity. I guess that means you've been projecting all this time. Big yikes, sweetie. Prayers.

Confirmed for incel. Thanks for playing!
Camden Green
There's literally nothing wrong with shilling for free open source programs.
Adrian Perez
RENT FREE
Jonathan Johnson
Indeed, you are. Thanks for confirming it.
Ryder Nelson
stop replying to each other and add each other on discord already you fags
David Ward
/g/-esque shitposting is fun and all, but are correct that, and that no one cares about the privacy of video game nerd stuff
make a better program, or fuck off
Ryan Lewis
pretty lame dude
Carson Garcia
im not a terrorist or a pedophile so discord
Brayden Taylor
None of you stupid retards have even tried Tox much less taken a look at the UI. It's even easier than discord and works out the box even better, you can sign up within the app no email required just user and pass that's it, fucking easy. Yea Forums is the dumbest fucking board
Lucas Gonzalez
>sullying the good name of of the gorons Get fucked cunt
Benjamin Lee
>make a better program, or fuck off But there are better programs, people just dont wanna try them cause its not discord. And "my friends arent there lol" Tox has every one of those features you mentioned.
Juan Wood
you think youre funny with your bait but ironically discord has the most pedos and terrorists cause they're all retarded
Ian Carter
I mean I don't care if you do or not, but I'm not going to use it.
Jayden Thomas
You can't really send offline messages with the Tox protocol, I don't know how it's supposed to replace Discord. Tox is great if you're a drug dealer or plotting a rebellion in your country though.
Hudson Scott
im honoring chris's name you think he'd use retard normalfaggot shit like discunt?
not bait, i'm not a terrorist or a pedophile and i use an adblocker and a vpn when i browse the internet so there's literally no reason for me to care if someone sells what little data i put on the internet in the first place anyone who uses discord for pizza or "alt-right" (lmao) shit is actually retarded
Daniel Hill
I'll be your friend cute anime poster
Matthew Flores
sure here's my tox have you been completely shut away from the app that you use? there has been a ton of dramatic illegality that happens within discord, loads of pedos and cults that have been banned, tons of politically extremist content that happens there all the time, it's a hub for dumb criminals and idiots
Landon Scott
>But there are better programs, people just dont wanna try them cause its not discord. >And "my friends arent there lol" ????? Talking to your friends is literally the point of all these programs.
People not adopting Tox is a marketing failure on the program team's end, failure to offer something that an established product (dsicord) does not, your own fault for not convincing your friends, or a combination.
>People not adopting Tox is a marketing failure on the program team's end, failure to offer something that an established product (dsicord) does not, your own fault for not convincing your friends, or a combination.
the team doesn't advertise because it's free it has all the features necessary to make communication easy with an unbloated UI
Anthony Garcia
>marketing failure There's no marketing because its a FOSS program retard. There's no big company hiring shills to distribute "swag" to their reddit audience. It's just a bunch of nerds in their basements all contributing to make a good program, as opposed to onions filled furries filling their pockets selling the data of retards like you to china. Since there's no money flowing, it comes to the people with half a brain to try and let others know what it even is, but your way of thinking isnt helping anyone.
Nathan James
hey fellas I'm OP and well basically I am a huge faggot
Ethan Reyes
I don't give a shit about any this, or why or why not they don't market.
My point was that >my friends aren't there *IS* a valid reason to not use a fucking communications program, and usage adoption rates are objective metrics of what constitutes a "good" communications program.
Maybe they should advertise, even hire people like to do it. sincerely, not trying to be a smug dick.
Henry Gonzalez
Tox is objectively worse than Discord in many basic features. People that act like FOSS applications are somehow more secure for normies when normies don't bother to check hashes or what they're downloading are deluded as fuck as well.
FOSS apps are great if your community consists of FOSS developers. The problem is that as other anons have mentioned, they often sacrifice usability. Like how GIMP's UI design has been embarrassingly bad for a long time.
