On one hand I think people shouldn’t use Discord anyway, but also, we need to figure out how to make the services we use sustainable.

    It depends on whether the server you’re on is boosted, also. But even a standard voice server is better quality than a phone. Phones may technically be able to play audio with a higher bitrate, but that’s limited by both cell service and speaker quality.

      It really isn’t in my experiences, but maybe it’s different in Australia? As well, other services like Telegram or Signal have way better quality too. Discord just kinda sucks.

        In my experience discord literally feels like I’m in the room with someone. I use it constantly and it’s been great for me. Phones on the other hand are kinda garbage. The signal is consistently unreliable. Sometimes I literally get calls where one of us can’t hear the other. Sometimes several calls in a row. Occasionally calls just don’t even go through.
