In an apparent effort to boost revenues, gaming social media startup Discord plans to implement ads into its free service. The step is expected in the coming days after 9 years of ad-free experience.

I don’t think people on this sub use it, but it’s great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

      Isn’t Mumble just a voice chat software? I don’t think that is the main use case for Discord for most people.

        Yeah, discord is for running a community not just chatting in voice.

        Idk, me and all my friends use discord for vc, plus screenshots and memes while we chat. You can do that in mumble. Not sure about broadcasting or anything (I started a server yesterday after the news broke), maybe there are extensions. Discord is just a means to an end for us.

      And no one uses it. The last time I used mumble was over a decade ago and its use was short lived.
