It was said that you would unite gamers all under one platform, not divide them.

大家都說你會把所有玩家團結在一個平臺上，而不是分化他們。

Bring all services together under this one roof.

把所有服務都整合到這個屋簷下。

and with Discord announcing that it will be demanding government photo ID from a significant number of users as a way to verify their age, whether that's today or in the future, you can see that by this search trend, people are wanting to leave.

而現在 Discord 宣佈要向大量用戶要求政府核發的身分證來驗證年齡，無論是現在還是未來，你可以從這個搜尋趨勢看到，大家都在想辦法離開。

Which is why we are going to be breaking down the best Discord features into four different categories and identifying three solutions that could be a replacement for you, depending on how you use Discord, with some honorable mentions along the way.

這就是為什麼我們要把 Discord 最棒的功能拆成四種不同類別，並找出三種可以替代的解決方案，取決於你如何使用 Discord，中間還會有一些值得一提的備選方案。

At the end, we will see if any stand out across the board as the best all-in-one replacement, because spoiler alert, you might have to compromise on a feature or two in the name of retaining your privacy.

最後，我們會看看有沒有哪個能全面脫穎而出，成為最佳的一站式替代方案，因為先說個小祕密，為了保護你的隱私，你可能得在某些功能上妥協。

But you know what I'll never compromise on are these segues to our sponsor.

但你知道我絕對不會妥協的是什麼嗎？就是我們贊助商的介紹。

Are you sure this is the best way to learn Python, Boots the Bear Wizard?

你確定這是學習 Python 的最好方法嗎，Boots 熊巫師？

你將會用最艱難的方式學習程式設計。

The four categories that we have decided to focus on today were what we deemed were Discord's most important offerings for most people.

我們今天決定聚焦的四個類別，是我們認為對大多數人來說，Discord 最重要的功能。

That's voice calling, text channels, community, and usability.

那就是語音通話、文字頻道、社群和易用性。

Obviously, there are other important features like forums and screen sharing, customization, and

當然，還有其他重要的功能，像是論壇和螢幕共享、個人化設定，

hey, maybe even the shop if that's your bag.

嘿，甚至如果你喜歡的話，還可以逛商店。

But these four strip Discord down to its roots and highlight why it ended up dominating the market in the first place.

但這四個功能讓 Discord 回歸本質，並突顯了它為何能稱霸市場。

So let's start with probably the most important one on this list, voice calling.

所以，我們就從這份清單裡，大概是最重要的語音通話開始吧。

Whether it's with your close friends or strangers in a community server, our three programs that we're going to highlight need to prioritize clear communication first with minimal drops or stutters.

無論是和你的親密好友，還是在社群伺服器裡的陌生人，我們今天要介紹的三個程式，都需要優先確保清晰的溝通，盡量減少斷訊或卡頓。

And Steam Chat is a real contender here, featuring high enough bitrate for a casual conversation, group voice calls, and

Steam Chat 在這方面是個強勁的對手，提供足夠的位元率，適合隨意哈拉、群組語音通話，

even channels for these calls if you want to set up separate chats for multiple teams.

甚至還有這些通話的頻道，如果你想為多個團隊設定獨立的聊天室。

The biggest complaint among Steam Chat users is that it has a bit of a higher latency than Discord, meaning while your calls are basically in real time, there is a bit more of a delay, which can be awkward.

Steam Chat 使用者最大的抱怨是，它的延遲比 Discord 高一點，也就是說，雖然你的通話幾乎是即時的，但還是會多一點延遲，這可能會有點尷尬。

For the best audio quality, you guys should check out Mumble.

想要最好的音質，你們可以試試 Mumble。

It's kind of an OG, and its UI also kind of shows it.

它算是老牌軟體了，介面也看得出來。

Like Discord, you can join multiple friends' servers if you want to hop between different friend groups,

就像 Discord 一樣，如果你想在不同的朋友群之間切換，可以加入多個朋友的伺服器，

and it even features in-game overlays to see who is chatting.

它甚至還有遊戲內疊加畫面，可以讓你看到誰在哈拉。

Unlike Discord, though, Mumble has positional audio, so if you want to hear where your friends are in-game.

不過跟 Discord 不同的是，Mumble 有位置音訊，所以如果你想知道朋友在遊戲中的哪個位置。

Hopefully, one of your friends likes being a server admin, because while there are guides to help, the setup process requires you to get your hands dirty.

希望你的朋友中有個喜歡當伺服器管理員，因為雖然有教學指南，但設定過程需要你親自動手。

TeamSpeak can also require users to get their hands dirty,

TeamSpeak 也可能需要使用者親自動手，

but it is a lot easier than Mumble and is probably the closest looking to Discord out of these three.

但它比 Mumble 容易多了，而且大概是這三款中最像 Discord 的。

But don't think that means it'll be an easy adjustment, as it behaves completely different.

但別以為這樣就會很好上手，因為它的操作方式完全不同。

Being a voice chatting-focused software, you have to, for example, be in a voice call in order to type text into the chat.

身為一款以語音哈拉為主的軟體，你必須要，例如，在語音通話中才能在聊天室裡打字。

Not to mention, it's the first on a list where you might need to bust out your credit card.

更別提，它還是在你可能需要拿出信用卡的那份清單裡的第一個。

If you like being the server admin, you'll probably end up needing to buy a license before you can host more than 31 friends.

如果你喜歡當伺服器管理員，你可能最終需要購買授權才能託管超過 31 位朋友。

And speaking of friends, we need to talk about one of Discord's biggest advantages, and that's community.

說到朋友，我們需要談談 Discord 最大的優勢之一，那就是社群。

While Discord is a bit confusing to start out for the first-timers, there is no denying that having thousands of different servers and communities to easily join and be a part of is incredible.

雖然 Discord 對新手來說一開始有點令人困惑，但不可否認的是，有數千個不同的伺服器和社群可以輕鬆加入並參與其中，這真是太棒了。

Whether it's a Linux community to help you troubleshoot, or even a financial advice group to help you plan your retirement, there is probably a Discord server for just about anyone these days.

無論是能幫助你解決疑難雜症的 Linux 社群，甚至是能幫助你規劃退休的理財建議小組，現在幾乎任何人都能找到一個 Discord 伺服器。

As for our alternatives to the community aspect, TeamSpeak gets another mention here.

至於我們社群方面的替代方案，TeamSpeak 在這裡再次被提及。

If you're wanting to game with like-minded individuals and probably go hard on the role-play in Arma, TeamSpeak is perfect for that.

如果你想和志同道合的人一起玩遊戲，並在 Arma 中盡情角色扮演，TeamSpeak 就是為你準備的。

Sure, it lacks persistent text chats or the forums like Discord has,

當然，它不像 Discord 那樣有持久的文字哈拉或論壇，

but if I'm being honest, Discord forums suck.

但老實說，Discord 的論壇很爛。

They often result in three people answering the same handful of questions because of how terrible they are to navigate.

他們常常因為導覽太爛，導致三個人回答一樣的問題。

At the moment, TeamSpeak appears to have the greatest amount of people dedicated to their communities.

目前來看，TeamSpeak 似乎擁有最多投入社群的人。

但除了 TeamSpeak 之外，就沒有其他選項了。

In order for an application to have a community-focused side, there needs to be community.

應用程式若要具備社群導向的面向，就必須要有社群。

And while there are multiple applications that could be great community hubs or seem to have potential, like Stoat, Matrix, and

雖然有些應用程式，像是 Stoat、Matrix 和

Circle, just to name a few, until they see mass adoption from users, they will never really have the same community momentum Discord has captured.

Circle 等，有潛力成為很棒的社群中心，但

But if you are looking for something that is focusing on text channels and the ability to send messages, organize chats,

除非它們能被大量使用者採用，否則永遠無法像 Discord 那樣擁有社群的動能。

and send memes with your small community or friend group, those options I just mentioned are incredible for that.

但如果你想找一個能專注於文字頻道、傳送訊息、整理哈拉內容，

Matrix is one that can be self-hosted, is open source, features end-to-end encryption,

並與你的小社群或朋友群分享迷因的工具，我剛才提到的那些選項都很棒。

and allows you to choose from a variety of client-side interfaces, because Matrix is actually just the back end of this messaging service.

而且讓你從各種用戶端的介面裡做選擇，因為 Matrix 本身其實只是這個通訊服務的後端。

To connect to someone's host server, you will need a separate app like Element, FluffyChat, or Cinnie, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

要連接到某人的伺服器，你需要另外一個像是 Element、FluffyChat 或 Cinnie 這樣的 App，每個都有各自的優缺點。

But you can mingle with users from anyone since they all run on Matrix.

但你可以跟任何人交流，因為他們都運行在 Matrix 上。

Element is the one that's recommended most often, though,

and I'm going to have more on that a little bit later.

Stoat, formerly known as Revolt, seems to have a lot of potential.

Stoat，以前叫做 Revolt，看起來很有潛力。

but features community-run servers and, of course, private DMs and group chats, which they boast very proudly are secure and confidential.

但有社群營運的伺服器，當然還有私人訊息和群組哈拉，他們非常自豪地宣稱這些是安全且保密的。

There are some people online expressing doubt and concern for Stoat, whether it's because of the name change or just the small user base,

網路上有些人對 Stoat 表示懷疑和擔憂，無論是因為改名還是用戶基數小，

but I think it's a program that is worth trying just to see if it fits your friend group's needs.

但我認為這是一個值得嘗試的程式，看看它是否適合你朋友群的需求。

Our final text-focused application is Slack, which What?

我們最後一個以文字為主的應用程式是 Slack，什麼？

But hey, if you're willing to live with some of the trade-offs that come with using the free tier, you can have a great organized chat experience with threaded conversations as well as as many free users as you want.

不過，如果你願意接受免費方案的一些取捨，你還是可以獲得很棒的組織化哈拉體驗，有主題式對話，以及無限數量的免費使用者。

And besides, if you really need more than 90 days' worth of message history or larger group calls and more app integrations, their monthly plan is cheaper than what Discord Nitro costs, which is kind of funny, right?

而且，如果你真的需要超過 90 天的訊息紀錄、更大的群組通話或更多應用程式整合，他們的月費方案比 Discord Nitro 還便宜，是不是有點好笑？

Because you know that if you tried to convince your Nitro using friends to pay for Slack, that they would look at you like you're crazy while their profile badge does a little spin in the background?

因為你知道，如果你試圖說服那些使用 Nitro 的朋友付費使用 Slack，他們會覺得你瘋了，同時他們的個人檔案徽章會在背景裡轉一轉？

Which I'm going to go on a small tangent before I get to our final category.

在進入我們最後一個類別之前，我要稍微離題一下。

I think going a paid route is a totally valid option.

我認為付費方案是個完全可行的選擇。

If you or anyone in your friend group really doesn't want to be the server admin, worrying about self-hosting or maybe even accidentally giving out your IP because of the peer-to-peer nature of some of these applications, I think it could be worth paying money to a service if everyone in your group can get behind it.

如果你或你朋友群裡的任何人真的不想當伺服器管理員，擔心自行架設伺服器，或者因為某些應用程式的點對點性質而不小心洩漏你的 IP，我覺得付費給服務商是值得的，前提是你們群組裡的每個人都能接受。

What I would encourage, though, is if you and your friends are upset at Discord and the whole age verification change, you should cancel any paid services you are using with them, whether that's Nitro or ServerBoosts.

不過，我倒是鼓勵大家，如果你們和朋友對 Discord 還有這次的年齡驗證變更感到不滿，就應該取消你們正在使用的任何付費服務，不管是 Nitro 還是 ServerBoosts。

The only chance that we have at these big companies realizing that what they did doesn't really sit well with us, the users, we need to hit them where it hurts, man, in their earnings.

我們唯一能讓這些大公司意識到他們所做的，用戶們真的無法接受的機會，就是打擊他們的收入來源，兄弟，就是他們的錢包。

Back onto our final category, though, I don't even think I would put Discord in the top three here.

不過，回到我們的最後一個類別，我甚至覺得 Discord 不會排進這裡的前三名。

Sure, most of you are probably used to it by now,

當然，你們大多數人現在可能都習慣了，

but when it was first introduced, I remember seeing a ton of guides online about how to navigate the interface.

但剛推出時，我記得網路上有超多關於如何操作介面的教學。

Heck, today I even get confused when I can't find my DMs before I remember I have to click on the little Discord logo in the top left.

說真的，今天我找不到 DMs 的時候還會搞不清楚，直到我才想起要在左上角點那個小小的 Discord 圖示。

Saying that, if you must have the exact same interface as Discord because you're used to it, Fluxer, which is about two months old, is basically a Discord clone.

話雖如此，如果你們一定要跟 Discord 一模一樣的介面，因為你們習慣了，那 Fluxer，這個大概兩個月大的東西，基本上就是 Discord 的複製。

but is open source and even allows people to self-host their servers on their own hardware, which unlocks more features than the non-self-hosted free tier servers.

但它是開源的，甚至還能讓大家在自己的硬體上自行架設伺服器，這能解鎖比非自行架設的免費方案伺服器更多的功能。

一個很大的缺點是沒有行動裝置支援。

Their website does show a screenshot of what appears to be a mobile app, so fingers crossed on that one.

他們的網站確實有顯示一張看起來像行動應用程式的截圖，所以我們就期待一下吧。

Matrix pops up here again, but your experience will vary depending on what client interface you're using.

Matrix 又出現了，但你的體驗會因為你使用的客戶端介面而有所不同。

For Element, it's pretty straightforward,

對於 Element 來說，它相當直接，

and most people will probably not have too much difficulty getting it to work.

大多數人應該都不會有太多困難就能讓它正常運作。

And there's even Comet, which looks a lot like Discord if you are wanting that again.

甚至還有 Comet，如果你又想要像 Discord 那樣的介面，它看起來就很像。

This really does highlight the strengths of something like Matrix, allowing people to have different experiences based on preferences.

這確實突顯了像 Matrix 這樣的優勢，讓大家可以根據偏好獲得不同的體驗。

But as someone who is currently going through the Linux challenge right now, sometimes having 30 different ways to do something can introduce choice paralysis and ends up doing more harm than good, whether it's guides looking different because you're using a different client app.

但對我這個目前正在挑戰 Linux 的人來說，有時候有 30 種不同的方法來做一件事，可能會造成選擇困難，結果弊大於利，即使只是因為你使用了不同的客戶端應用程式，指南看起來也會不一樣。

The final choice for ease of use is Steam Chat.

最後一個方便使用的選擇是 Steam Chat。
