Wow, that sucks "male hens".

But it is also the reason why my friends and I are IRC dwellers for the most part, and
when we need VOIP we use Mumble.

A set of IRL friends wants me to use Discord but I don't want to touch it with a 10
feet pole. Last time I used it I was not impressed.

I wish Jitsi's implemenation wasn't such a bitch, because it could be a nice Discord
replacement for the masses.
