Pretty much what it says on the tin, but for more context. My friends and I use Discord to play D&D and other TTRPGs. We also use it to send memes and just have conversations. We mostly do the chat, text, images, gifs, etc. But we also use the voice and video chat pretty regularly too. Screen share sometimes as well. So I'd like to try to find something that has all those features if possible.

The new ID or facial recognition requirement they are implementing is a deal breaker for a few of us, and so if I can set up some kind of alternative to make it a non-issue, I'd like to.

I'm running Ubunutu 22.04 LETS, AMD 3700X, 64GBRAM, 10x 6TB HDD, and and 2 4TB NVmE. Have a 2gb up/down internet connection. So I don't think we should have any issues making it work smoothly for 7 people.

I would take a look at TeamSpeak or Matrix.

Of the two Matrix is probably the closest to Discord.

Would Matrix be a good option? I think they have voice chat. There's a bunch of clients that you can pick from (Element, FluffyChat, etc) that seem pretty good

TeamSpeak 6 maybe. Don’t know where they’re up to on it at the moment kinda lost the thread a while ago.

Brief lookup seems things are still selfhosted: https://github.com/teamspeak/teamspeak6-server

I don't know how often its updated though all things considered. I've been out of the 'clans' games for sometime and just easing myself back into things from those rose tinted glory days of Blueyonder Gaming, Barrysworld and Gamespy shenanigans.

First ever live voice over IP I used was Roger Wilco where I met the misses and spent the current 30 years messing around. Roger Wilco(Bought out by Gamespy), Ventrillo, mumble, ICQ, TS, TS3, Discord seems like we're coming full circle again 🥲. Ah the nostalgia.
