All this talk about Discord replacements plus my own experience attempting to host a Synapse has got me wondering why it seems so hard to implement voice chat.

Stupid idea: back in 2022 I got an Asterisk server working on a raspberry pi over AREDN without too much trouble. What's stopping people from just using a PBX like that for voice chat?

Oof. There's an entire fdroid ecosystem you've cut yourself off from.

~~fdroid~~ Sideloading

Almost everything in fdroid can simply be sideloaded. Due to the inability to backup your app list from fdroid, I've completely switched to obtainium.
