With the recent news about discord asking for face or ID scan, what other alternatives are there that we can recommend to our less tech-savvy friends?

The only similar enough one that's also free is matrix. At least what I've found so far.

https://sharedown.kaffekod.nu/05c3716c-05fd-46f0-a90d-efdc6ee8c8a4 link will work for about a week.

I'm considering IRC and teamspeak3 instead

Edit: updated the link

    Does Matrix do voice yet? If not, it's not a discord alternative - it's an IRC alternative

    Yes, our team uses it as a Skype/teams replacement, we pay $20 per month for a server on etke.cc in Germany. Their implementation, however, doesn’t seem to do group videocalls with screensharing, just group voice.

    We are not federated because it is just an internal service that we need.
