If only Mumble contained more than 10% of the features Discord does. I'm tired of people suggesting replacements that only do one small part of what Discord does. It's like needing a new car, and all people keep suggesting is new engines. I don't care if the engine is better than my current car, an engine alone does not solve my needs.

In recent years, I started to feel differently. Sure, it's nice if you have 1 app/1 tool to do a lot of things, but it comes at the price of dependency. When a service/tool turns to shit (which seems to be a matter of time in most cases), it's so much harder to find something new. So I tend to prefer a lot of different simple tools that can do one thing only, but they can do that one thing right. And if it turms to shit, I can just replace the single tool instead of having to find an alternative that can do everything.

I feel the exact same way.. Sadly I don't think the perfect option exists, it would require something that's both an encrypted IM program and something you could self host servers on and plug into so users could join based on a link. Like Skype/icq meets teamspeak.
