The problem is discord pretty much killed teamspeak culture and replaced it outright.
Reddit didn’t really replace forums and migrating away from it won’t be as hard. Lots of communities are based entirely on discord. Good riddance tho cuz they’re a shit company and people need to explore other options. Discord has totally cornered the markets for voice calls and easy group chats.
I’m not talking about the actual features of the sites I’m talking about how Discord is more an information ecosystem that can’t be easily replaced as it stands whereas Reddit is much less unique and useful as it stands today and has been largely sidestepped.

The only reason I’m using Discord is for the seemless video chats and screen share. Teamspeak has neither.

You want to look at jitsi.org then. It’s far superior to Discord.

I’ve tried it. But it feels more like conferencing and less tailored to me a as a gamer wanting to join channels.
I like Discord as it is. I wish there was a self-hosted federated software just like it. I know about Revolt Chat but it doesn’t have feature parity.
