: look it from economic point of view! A sound file is lighter / smaller than a video file! so, lesser internet used!
and why not to have a discord server? or channel?

Okay, I feared as much. That's a disadvantage. Jitsi does not need an account to set it up or to participate. Discord doesn't seem to be too privacy conscious.
For my info, what is it in discord you don't like Chris?
btw, the opensource nature of Jitsi seems to make it possible to even run your own Jitsi server and integrate it in your own stuff. Maybe Horse would like to integrate it in the forum software?
You can have discord server as well, although it needs an account. you can use Facebook or gmail to login too. so it might not be a problem.
And I can help make it. I have used it quite a bit, and even if I'm not able to moderate it, I do have experience with moderating discord servers, and even setting them up.

hmmm, I'm still not convinced to use Discord and the more I read about it, the less I like it. There doesn't seem to be good end-to-end encryption and the fact they integrate with Facebook and Google means that these can gather even more info about you. Their privacy policy seems to be lacking. The fact that you can set up a "server "doesn't mean anything as it is not self hosted, probably just a docker instance in their server park. In contrast as a test, I have now Jitsi running in my house on my private LAN, hosted on my own computer, with no access from outside my house. (Nice for finally taking to my kids )
I'm still leaning towards using Jitsi, it's easy to use, no accounts required, high quality and fast compared to zoom, end-to-end encryption and if in doubt you can even host it yourself.
But maybe I'm too old fashioned, my kids don't call me a "boomer" for nothing
And don't let me stop you from starting your own discord server

Jitsi sounds like the way to go to me
No to Discord. Won't use it.

We have previously used Zoom, but that was annoying. I'm looking for a better medium for the next time.

If anyone wants to we can surely do it again. Didn't get any requests though.

I would have liked to but I have a 12 week old son now, and a bit pressed for time.

He might be 13 weeks, I have no idea what day it even is, or where I am.

Be thankful he is not a she or in a dozen or so years you will look back and think that you got lots of sleep now.

Congratulations. Don't worry, the lack of sleep only lasts until they move out of the house...
A friend once told me when you have a boy you worry about one boy on your block, when you have a girl you worry about every boy on your block.

Now that I have my first child, I now have NO idea why anyone regards this scene from Meet the Fockers as somehow "going overboard",
I think its basically the bare minimum of due diligence. So yes, I`m very happy I dont have a little girl to worry about...
