    Do people really use screen share that much? (Sadly) I use discord to reach a lot of my friends for multiple years and we actually used screen share maybe twice? Three times?

      I personally use it quite a lot, as do my friends. Typically use it to stream a movie to watch together, or to share the game they’re playing while we talk.

      It’s one of the single most used features there are outside of voip and text.

      It’s Mandatory for a discord alterative.

      This is a big reason why every alterative keeps failing. Linux and open source users are so fucking out of touch with normal users it’s absurd. They want and focus on all the wrong things and then complain when their apps don’t get popular.

      Like federation is cool and all but literally fuck and all people give a single flying fuck about it outside of the nerdy in crowd.

      Screen sharing on the other hand is a hard line the majority of normal users either refuse to live with out or have friends that do. Thus making it a make it or break it for most groups.
