The real question is, “which one of the gazillion voice chat apps can properly filter audio without a lengthy setup that my mongoloid friends will skip?”

I am the guy moving the group to different apps and platforms, some follow more reluctantly but in the end we stick together. We’ve jumped from TS2 to Skype, Dolby Axon, Mumble, Hangouts, Discord, Mumble and back to Discord. Now I’m getting a strong whiff of enshittification, and I’m weighing my options. We’re about 10-12 but mostly 4 or 5 active at a time.

Jami, Matrix, Jitsi, Rocket and again ol reliable Mumble… It’d be nice if mumble had screen share and a better automatic audio setup, so far the best quality of vc over any other app/service.

I’ll check out Movim I saw named in the comments, any other hidden gem I should try?

This! I’d say that the best we can do is educate. Over the last 20 years people got taught to be lazy and go with the herd. They don’t want to change, all their stuff is already “in the cloud” and “I don’t have time to go tinker with that nerd stuff, I need something that works”.
