All this talk about Discord replacements plus my own experience attempting to host a Synapse has got me wondering why it seems so hard to implement voice chat.
Stupid idea: back in 2022 I got an Asterisk server working on a raspberry pi over AREDN without too much trouble. What’s stopping people from just using a PBX like that for voice chat?

Isn’t TeamSpeak still a thing?
I thought it was only voice though. Not screen share or chat.
Yeah, it has chat. Nothing too fancy, at least not back when I last used it (which, granted, is decades ago) but chat it has.
