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.

Maybe if you pay for Nitro. Without it, the standard call quality is only 96kbps. Meanwhile VoLTE/VoNR and HD Voice have made mobile phone calls typically equal or higher quality. If you only ever call corporate, business or government services, those are typically still narrowband though, so you’re not going to notice.
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.
I dont.
I don’t care what calls can do. What they regularly do for me is sound like shit.
skill issue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I remember when standard mp3 quality – these are pre-Napster days – was 112kbps. Honestly, 96 is sufficient for a voice call, especially for those of us who remember landline quality.
I mean yea, absolutely, but HD Voice can do 128kbps and comparatively that’s better than Discord. The other person’s comment seemed a bit snarky so I wanted to refute their assertion.
