"As reported by , TeamSpeak has posted to X to warn users that "current hosting capacity has been reached in many regions, especially in the United States," along with an exploding cat meme. It credits these perhaps welcome technical issues to "the incredible surge of new users joining TeamSpeak and subscribing to communities," and adds that the company is "working on expanding availability across additional regions.""
"It credits these perhaps welcome technical issues to "the incredible surge of new users joining TeamSpeak and subscribing to communities," and adds that the company is "working on expanding availability across additional regions." TeamSpeak, already big in the Overwatch community, describes itself as a "privacy-first voice and chat platform" that's "decentralized and secure," which certainly suggests a different approach to Discord. It's a less complicated piece of software, but that also means it doesn't constantly fucking pester you about whatever the bloody hell Nitro is."
"Like so many things from history, this is all Britain's fault. The farcical UK Online Safety Act is forcing all social media platforms and adult-oriented websites to require age verification checks before its citizens can access them, and the result is chaotic nonsense that has the UK government trying to figure out how to stop children using VPNs, while PornHub announced it's just outright blocking UK users from visiting its site. Aside from that, it's also made half the internet far more irritating to use,"
Discord implemented worldwide age-verification checks that many users view as invasive. Large numbers of disgruntled users migrated to TeamSpeak, overwhelming server hosting capacity in multiple regions, especially the United States. TeamSpeak posted on X saying current hosting capacity has been reached and that the company is working to expand availability across additional regions. TeamSpeak positions itself as a privacy-first, decentralized, and secure voice and chat platform and attracts communities like Overwatch. The UK Online Safety Act mandates age verification for social media and adult sites, prompting measures such as PornHub blocking UK users and government efforts to limit VPN workarounds, increasing friction across many websites.
