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.

Rocket.chat would be my first recommendation, tho it looks more corporate aimed. It also claims to support Matrix federation.

You could also give Jami a try, it's p2p so it doesn't need servers.

RocketChat is pretty easy to setup with docker. I couldn't get it to work in podman after many, many hours of trying despite the documentation saying it does. They have a dedicated podman doc page but I just hit problem after problem after problem. I was trying to do it with the containerized mongo as a PoC though - a lot of problems came from that (mongo connection). Maybe I'll try again with a "real" db server. Root cause seemed to be networking differences between docker and podman.

I found it really odd that your server has to get a registration key from their server... That part weirds me out.

@Vaggumon mattermost es bastante similar a discord. Con todo y los canales y roles y bots

For 7 people you could look into Virola Messenger. Not open source but uses Mumble under the hood and is super lightweight. No electron shit.
