I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

Its pretty amazing for voice communication in gaming.
As a messenging app? Meh
dude discord has been one of the worst experiences for voip in gaming IME. I started using mumble SOLELY because discord was actually just disappointing. Though tbf maybe if i paid out the ass for nitro it's better? I ain't paying for that though.
Though yeah, for messaging, it's dogshit, It's a mess.
guilded > discord/shitcord
(i call the mobile ui shitcord, i am to lazy to switch to a modded discord app rn)
i refuse to touch modded clients tbh, mostly because discord can't seem to make up their mind about modded clients, and modded clients seem to continually skill issue. There was one recently that started leaking IPs which was pretty funny.
this is honestly the only good thing about discord, the krisp noise reduction is actually kind of good. It only took them like 3 years to implement it on the linux client. And we've only had system wide noise filtering since the dawn of time.
Although since we're on the topic, discord manages input/output in the single most inconceivably stupid manner possible.
On Linux I use an app called NoiseTorch that creates a virtual mic to cut out background noise in any application
i messed with noisetorch for a bit, it seemed interesting, and worked pretty well. Nothing beats push to talk though tbh.
i get much better call quality in telegram
