Well it has started has voice chat for gamers. Their latency and sound quality is top notch. You can have voice call with 5000 people. You can finetune sound of each individual. They have mass moderation tools... it surprises me with something in a good ways.

It feels like theyve nailed the technical part.

Discord with a voice call of > 50 people really starts cracking about and it just isn't usable. audio quality goes way down.

Not sure how you got the 5000 number.

I've personally been in voice calls on discord with thousands of people. Obviously it's impossible to pick out anything discernable with that many people but discord handles it well.
