Discord cut ties with its age-verification partner after exposed code fueled federal-reporting concerns, months after a breach hit 70,000 users.

Teamspeak requires you to pay for a license to host a community of greater than 32 people though. I have much more faith in Fluxer, which just came out recently and has its servers getting hammered right now. It will have true self-hosting and federation. Also it looks exactly like Discord which probably makes moving to it easier.

Neat

Maybe I can spin something up for family to use instead of SMS.

https://matrix.org/ has been around for years and has had true self-hosting and federation from the start.

Matrix is lacking all sorts of features and proper UX. I used it through multiple front-ends and every time it's just not good enough yet.
