    There's Mumble for voice, text and images. The server is self hosted and there is no chat history so it's private. It uses Opus so the audio quality is very good without using a lot of bandwidth. For gaming, it supports positional audio and a HUD that shows who is talking.

    For the projects using Discord for support, they should move to a forum.
