System-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) voice chat without registration or having to run my own server (to replace Discord)? (lemmy.world)

Jitsi Meet and Matrix are missing system-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) (to replace Discord).

Tell Jitsi -> github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/210
Tell Matrix -> github.com/element-hq/element-web/issues/15284
Tell Element Call -> call.element.io (Settings > Feedback)
Tell SimpleX -> github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/2398

Alternatives (obviously must be cross-platform end-to-end encrypted libre software)?

You can't have e2e encrypted anything without identifying information about unique users. Nothing reasonably secure anyway.

SimpleX does it but is missing push-to-talk, no email, no phone number, no username or password, no sign up needed.

Email the devs, they're really responsive

Great idea, actually found a similar issue on their GitHub.

No, it doesn't. It has IDs for unique users, but tries to mitigate the risks by keeping a separate set of IDs to use with each contact. (This is like having a separate Matrix/Jabber/Signal/whatever account for each contact.)

Okay, that clarifies what you want, but SimpleX still doesn't do what @just_another_person said it can't do. You seem to have misunderstood them.

Also, what's with the downvotes? Do you expect people to spend their time trying to help you when you respond like that?

No offense, votes help sort comments and we're moving off topic but your other comment is more useful, thanks again!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

SimpleX still has devices as users, you just don't see it. If you're just talking about some random PTT voice chat or something, I haven't seen anything.

you just don’t see it.

I want that with push-to-talk. Easier to get acquaintances and randoms to join, easy to spread.
