What’s that you say? IRC?
Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?

Back in my day, (shakes cane), Teamspeak and Ventrillo were the big voice chat platforms/tools. Both have text chat and channels; but their focus is voice chat for gaming.

Ventrilo was awful, having huge delay. Also no persistent chat.
TeamSpeak is proprietary and required a license for more than 8 users iirc. Chat might have been persistent?
Mumble was/is king in terms of voice chat. Open source, fully featured, strong certificate based security, best latency. It’s used as backend in many big games, too. No persistent chat, though.
We used IRC for chat and Mumble for voice like 10 years ago when I played Eve Online. Works great!

Mumble was awesome. It probably still is, to be fair
