I went back to IRC a couple of weeks ago and it's been such a breath of fresh air to use good technology again.
Matrix might be worth a try too. It's kind of like a modernized IRC with limited discord-like functionality.
Stoat also seems pretty good, though it's more centralized than I'd like.
I think stoat would be viable of they had voice chat working with their self hosting option but yeah, right now it's a no for me because of that.
