On the one hand, I don't want kids to see everything I did in the early oughts thanks to unfettered internet access. On the other, I really do not want to give Discord my personal data just to prove I'm old enough to be talking to my favourite weirdos. There's gotta be a better way—and some might say it's TeamSpeak.
In fact, TeamSpeak itself says it's seen an "incredible surge of new users" recently, so much so that the voice and chat platform's hosting capacity has apparently been maxed out in a number of regions including the US. It's worth taking this with a grain of salt because this information is coming directly from TeamSpeak's own social posts on X and Facebook, and they've yet to reveal the cold, hard numbers.
Still, as I saw for myself while testing out free Discord alternatives, it's hard to deny the appeal of TeamSpeak. It's quick and easy to make an account, join or start a group chat, or join a massive, game-based community voice server, and at no point does TeamSpeak cheekily ask if it can scan your wizened visage.
