Gopi Passiflora Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'm not really someone who uses voice chat myself, but I tend to go to places where it is enabled simply because there tends to be more activity and conversations there. I admit it's sort of a bummer when the Lindens shut off voice because when they do that at a certain place, no one goes there anymore. But then again, since I don't really voice anyway I shouldn't feel bad at all - I should just look for busy places regardless of whether they have voice or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I never use voice, so it sure doesn't bother me any. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Huntsman Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It honestly doesn't bug me, I only really voice on my homeland. And that is it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we kinda caused that, not us in particular. But the userbase did cause this, cause of how people carried themselves on voice. So we only have those people to blame. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it long time ago but would not use it today as I am not seeking an internet relationship and I listen to Classical music most of the time and love my music. But, it didn't know it was being shut off in certain places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Kenin Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It's due to no way to fact check the conversations and opinions,unable to have a moderator on verify the correct narrative.. it helps cut down on hate speech:example being critical of government, reading the bible outloud, people asking when lindens will fix things..all the conspiracy stuff and things like that. having voice on allows radical rightwing people to trick residents into thinking they are making friends, forming closer bonds together. but in reality it's an evil trumpeter trying to indoctrinate residents. It's been done for our own good, Voice is off for a safer world. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Voice has been shut off in a lot of public places for years, others more recently. Most people wouldn't notice. Personally, I don't use voice and none of my friends do, so it's no loss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Catlyn Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 In many situations where i have heard people in voice it is just bad. Bad microphones, bad language and bad attitude. I t really messes with my experience inworld. I dont need to hear someone going ghetto on another person, yelling at their rl kids or clearing their throat like they smoke 80 cigarettes. Nope not for me. I am glad i dont have to hear it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmoe Whitfield Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 in certain places it's become nothing but " WE OWN THIS AREA, WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT AND T ALK HOW EVER WE WANT" cesspool. good riddance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoiraKathleen Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I don't think it is necessary to have voice enabled on LL owned public regions or parcels. If people want to use voice they can find resident owned community spaces that allow voice, or congregate on their own parcels with voice enabled. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick0678 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I think i have visited a safe hub about 5-6 times in 11 years and that usually happened due to my home region being offline while i was logging in, so personally i never cared if they had voice or not since i don't visit them. Won't make much of a difference for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwin Alcott Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 think it shouls be shut down on more places like stores for example.. but serious, i don't mind, i even have it disabled at my home and homestead, while nobody else comes there 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syo Emerald Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I haven't noticed. But I think its good. There are plenty of resident owned places voice enthusiasts and go to, which are better regulated, than some public Linden owned place. We often discouraged people coming to the forum, to linger around those places, as its attractive like a honey pot for griefers and aholes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maitimo Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I rarely turn voice on, and I never hang out in Linden-owned "social" hubs, so I never noticed. I think it's a good thing though. Those places should be re-named "Anti-social hubs". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
