    Any alternative you would recommend? I’m mostly using it for video group call for dnd. Although convincing the group to change to yet another program would be the hardest part.

      As far as self hosted I’ve heard a lot about matrix but haven’t tried it. Maybe I’ll give it a shot this weekend.

      https://matrix.org/

      There’s also telegram, slack, etc if you want something else commercial.

        I’ve convinced few of my friends to use Matrix and it has been a really nice platform and now I prefer it to Discord not only because it respects user privacy but also because it doesn’t have the nitro bs

      Host a teamspeak server on a raspberry pi, the sound quality is superior and there’s no stupid feature set you don’t need

      Matrix, I’d you want something truly open and respects user privacy.

      Not sure if matrix does video calls, so if you’re looking for something additional for that functionality, jitsi may be worth looking into. If I recall correctly its open source

          Someone else responded to me saying I wasn’t sure if matrix supports video calls:

          “They do, group video calls are implementing Jitsi.”

          Integration might make things even easier :)

          Best of luck!
