I'll believe them when they bother to fix the five year old issue that completely breaks audio on desktop sharing they've left the Linux client to rot with.

Thanks. I've actually been using that for a while now.

It's not reliable for my setup and I haven't figured out why. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well if discord is claiming this, it must be true! /s

I'll trust the stream survey results to determine if this is actually the year... Thanks

Kind of stuck with Discord for the moment, but I've just been using a separate Firefox profile dedicated to the service. It's nice seeing multiple accounts at once and having easy access to extensions.

Fluxer.app seems to be the alternative that's gaining ground.

With European governments bucking Windows, sure, it's likely to have some growth.

Huge advertisement for linux. Discord joining steam in open support for linux will bring quite a few people over.
