The fact they are being shown to users is jank (it’s a popup within the Mumble gui), the fact that the hosters ran into this problem is evidence that hosting Mumble is a big challenge because I am convinced they generally know what they are doing. The comparison here is Discord, for which neither the people running a channel or its users have problems like that.
It’s SSL warnings, they have to be shown to whoever is connecting, half the point is the system shouldn’t have to know if the connecter is a user or an admin or whateverelse. Of course, the real solution is still to solve the SSL issues behind the warning.

If Discord Inc ever forgot to update their certs, you can be damn sure we’d like to not have the warnings hidden from us. The only difference is here that status is not under control of running a channel / making community, so one could argue that’s actually worse.
Hi, I host a mumble server, if users are getting cert errors it is 100% the hosters fault and the error being shown to users is GOOD. Otherwise users could get man in the middled without knowing it. There is no excuse for users to get the error if the hoster is competent and has automated cert renewal setup correctly. And for the record automated cert renewal isn’t much harder than it is for a website.
