It has weirdly good audio quality too, like noticeably better than Discord. If the Steam desktop app wasnt so heavy this could maybe be a good alternative. Maybe if they split out a separate app to use it without launching all of Steam.
My biggest gripe with it that makes it unusable as a serious replacement is that it purposely only stores conversation history for two weeks.
Huh that actually makes it more appealing to me from a privacy perspective.
I can't remember the last time i actually (non-work-related) needed to go back and look at old conversations. Anything important enough to be referenced isn't data that should be kept in a chat app
My friends' discord has pinned messages for things like mod lists and server connections that we would still use years later. More public groups for things like fan communities probably have plenty of rules and instructions that are displayed to new users. They could be linked as a shared file to download, but having it easily viewable in-client is a legitimate use case.
Oh thats weird I'd never used it enough to notice that. Not a great choice.
