The great thing about TS is that it can be hosted by anyone so you don't have to submit your data to some jerky enjoying demonic fucks out there, but one of your dipshit friends who hopefully won't use the stored server chat logs against you! Yippie!
Lol I never left. I've been hosting TS voice comms on a VPS going on 12 years. It's stupid cheap and works 98% of the time. I don't use the new client though.
I think the last time I used it was about a decade ago when a local event group I was a part of had it for their planning meetings. They went discord eventually, but I had left the event by then because there were just some funny things that I didn't like.
