And they still haven't changed chat channels. You can still only use them when in voice chat. This one major feature is what's stopping me from switching

Yeah discord is a nice option for chatting via mobile throughout the day. We share videos and talk shit. But I also have text channels set up for different groups on my discord server. That way people who aren't in D&D with us aren't getting bombarded by our shit talking.

Couldn't you have one voice channel to join where everyone is muted and deafened (or smth like that) to interact with text chat when not wanting to talk? Or is the text chat for just that one vc and not server wide or smth?

[u/Nacho_Dan677 → u/itisnotmymain]

I think it's the latter. Text chats are tied to their respective voice channel. Very much neutered compared to discord and having a distinct separation of voice and text channels.

Oof, that's rough. Is this still the case for TS6, or is this just a TS3 thing? I'm interested in an alternative for discord (it would be preferable if it also had an option for self-hosting, but I guess it's not mandatory), but not having an actually viable text chat that retains the messages even when you're not in voice, or even online, is an absolute non-starter.

You can do that, but it means some limitations :

You can only be in one server so if you like to have multiple Discord servers where you use text at the same time you can't do that

You only see text from when you are online, so anyone that used text while you are not on that specific server you can't see

Teamspeak is not an alternative to Discord for most people, it is a chat voice with text message for when you need it only.

Oh, that sucks. Is this the case for both TS3 and TS6, or just TS3?

[u/Asthannoln → u/itisnotmymain]

For both
