The Matrix.org network has great potential, but after years of dealing with glitches, slow performance, poor UX, and one too many failures, I’m done with it.
Take this with a grain of salt, I don’t have it deployed right now, but if I remember the current state correctly, one on one calls are a thing, group calls aren’t.
I just want a self-hostable open-source alternative to the shitty closed-source IM systems I’m forced to use
I’m sticking with Matrix for now, hopefully some of the issues I’ve had will get ironed out
Snikket is the rebranded-dockerized XMPP environment (uses prosody for server, Conversations clone for Android, and Monal clone for iOS).
Worked pretty well for me in the past.
Revolt is a self hosted discord clone
The lack of group voice calls is what mainly kept me from adopting that. Hope they get that working soon.
I swear there were calls when I was testing it a year or two ago. Guess not then.
Take this with a grain of salt, I don’t have it deployed right now, but if I remember the current state correctly, one on one calls are a thing, group calls aren’t.
If you want 1:1 chat, Simplex should work well.
Nextcloud talk?
I’m not sure how much it would make sense for me as I don’t use Nextcloud for anything else
