On my pixel 9 the aurora store was absolute garbage, constantly saying apps are not compatible with my device. Had to change it to fake an S24 and even then I had this issue constantly.

I’m now just using Aptoide, its the only store I’ve found that has basically all apps and isn’t the play store.

We really need more people working on tech that both has great privacy but also simplicity. Currently you always have to pick between convenience or privacy. Everybody that keeps pushing self hosting doesn’t get that not everybody has the skills or time to set that up.

I work in IT, I do QA, I write test automation code, I setup CI/CD pipelines but the moment you put me on networking stuff I’m done, gg well played. It’s a whole new skillset so if I as someone who grew up and work in a technical job has a hard time with it don’t even think its going mainstream.

I’m not a technical person, can’t be bothered for that. In the end for tools like this its important non-tech people can also use it

I’ve never quit using teamspeak but I’d never see it as an alternative for the chatting functions of discord (neither private or server wide). Calling and screensharing on it is superior for sure, chatting is garbage.

I haven’t tried it yet but opening Element in browser it does have a call option

I just checked and indeed it does! Didn’t know that before, although I do think Revolt is more user friendly to non-tech people so will probably be a better choice for people to migrate to.

Teamspeak 6 released a month or so ago and has Peer2Peer screenshare, it works great!

Reminder that we have a european alternative called Revolt we can always switch to!

Another alternative is Element for chatting and Teamspeak for Calls/Screenshare!

I’m using infomaniak. Bought my domain via them and got a free mailbox with it + simple site hosting (kualdir.eu for example).

Just looked myself up on whois and no info about me can be found as of yet.

The only “issue” you may encounter is while moving mail provider you may need to take a more expensive option than the non-custom domain ones. At least, that I know of ofc.
