State of the Discord - A Lesson (r/selfhosted) (www.reddit.com)

TLDR: The r/selfhosted subreddit has a Discord server. The owner's account got hacked leaving the server in a precarious state. They submitted a support ticket, but Discord has not taken action in weeks and probably won't at all, so they are considering starting a new Discord server.

It mimics discord, so functional voice rooms with screen sharing, text channels, and so on..

    Join different servers then? Not sure what to tell you.

    I use element and I am in many different matrix servers with voice rooms. I host my own as well, voice is done via livekit which makes connecting via MatrixRTC very easy, and is easy to setup and host.

    Those same voice rooms support webcams / video, as well as screen sharing.

    So voice is done via a different software not matrix?

    Matrix is a protocol, its all through some other software. Livekit is just a good and easy webrtc server that you can tie in with something like synapse

    I literally use matrix voice for my d&d group every week lol, just join a server that has voice

    Only thing I dislike is the lack of software based noise cancelling is a bit awkward but very managable
