Discord cut ties with its age-verification partner after exposed code fueled federal-reporting concerns, months after a breach hit 70,000 users.

Teamspeak requires you to pay for a license to host a community of greater than 32 people though. I have much more faith in Fluxer, which just came out recently and has its servers getting hammered right now. It will have true self-hosting and federation. Also it looks exactly like Discord which probably makes moving to it easier.

    Neat

    Maybe I can spin something up for family to use instead of SMS.

    Check out the snikket server/app, it's a complete setup that uses an XMPP server and clients with a focus on families and close friends

    Ive already got xmpp, its more a client thing for them I think.

    The discord-esque look I think works. Though if you've got a client rec for xmpp with a similar feel, for that I'm all ears.

    on desktop I tried gajim and it was good

    on android snikket has an official client, it is a fork of conversations.im (they fork it so the client as the same name in every platform to avoid confusing users) i haven't found a client for android/ios that matches discord feel tho

    edit: forgot to say snikket is also on ios
