Discord is the primary voice chat platform for a lot of my gaming groups, and half the time it can’t even detect the correct mic or output. Also routing my calls to the phone app for no reason when I am clearly ACTIVE AND TYPING on PC.

I don’t need another messaging app, I need an actual seamless voice chat experience.

discord is also the main place for reporting bugs related to the linux driver for xbox controllers, xone. I do not appreciate it.

Wait, am I seeing correctly? Did they really go so far as to completely disable the issue system in GitHub in favor of Discord?

That's certainly a... choice.

it's really surprising how many FOSS projects decide to use Discord as a bug report tool. it's like they've never heard of the little obscure website called Github.

The project I've linked is hosted on GitHub. They explicitly disabled issues and did not enable discussions.

yeah, I know. Proton-GE does the same thing.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Well, not github, but a FOSS alternative not hosted by Microsoft.

Also routing my calls to the phone app for no reason when I am clearly ACTIVE AND TYPING on PC.

And the opposite problem when you don't get message notifications on your phone because you forgot to close it on your PC.

hah, I haven't updated mine since they switched from a native app to react native.

[-] tsuica@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

What? They never had a native app, it was Electron.

on android, not desktop
