Definitely the community, as Discord provides an option to require PTT on a channel-by-channel basis.
- seba_dos1 8y agoNot sure if this is the case here, but the chosen defaults and the UX around it could easily make it a Discord's fault.
- reificator 8y agoIMO it would be significantly more user-hostile to disallow users choosing whether to use PTT unless the benevolent server owner allows it. I know people who consider voice-activation to be an accessibility feature, as otherwise it would be too difficult/distracting to be able to use VOIP. A community should absolutely be able to disallow voice-activation, but disallowing it by default across the platform would be an issue.
- seba_dos1 8y agoNo, I'm speaking more about hiding voice-activation mode somewhere into accessibility settings page, as opposed to getting big shiny button "activate voice-activation" after first login or even enabling it by default with an option to switch to PTT afterwards.
