Some time ago when Discord used Surveillance Services to face scan all their users a lot of possible alternatives where thrown around.

  • It should be already hosted by someone
  • have voice chat
  • Be easy to sign up to so that i can convince people

    Discord is still king. People are way too invested.

    Matrix is decent for me. Voice, video, and screen share, works well. Have not had issues with small friend groups

    Still using Discord here. Never sent them a face photo. Can’t say either way for the other people I still talk to on there.

    Prior to that I remember using TeamSpeak, which apparently still exists. Still proprietary and monolithic though, which might not be to your preference.
