I recommend Stoat, it can be selfhosted, open source, there is no shady company behind it, and it works well. There even is top-notch noise filtering, which I found very important for voice calls.

Stoats bigger problem is that it's been spinning it's wheels for years has basically gotten no where and has a fraction of the features people want out of a discord clone.

It's ok, but it need to actually start taking progressing it's feature set seriously before anyone will start taking it seriously.

Have they got push-to-talk yet? Very big reason why I stopped using it unfortunately

[–] toothbrush@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

For some reason still no, sadly.

isnt stoat russian?

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So what? It is open source and you can self host it. I don't think open source software developed by Russian people is worse than open source software developed by Americans.

I do. Open source software controlled by people in auth regimes isnt safe.

I have a hard time assigning countries to open source projects since anyone can contribute. No idea whether the core devs are russian. Their online communication and documentation is completely in english and their domains are american.
