Voice Chat as an Optional Alternative of Comments and Replies (lemmy.world)

What if there were voice chat channels you could join in a thread to discuss posts? The idea would be to give people a richer way of communicating instead of just typing comments and replies.

Update: I just realized what I really wanted was to have a conversation, so I'm going to get off the internet and actually go talk to people in the real world.

Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it'd be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?

People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone's name if they're being abusive.
