    does not keep with the spirit of the application, being a closed platform without the ability to give users the ability to create their own servers.

    You can't host your own private server with control of the data, and it's a huge bloated application for voice chat because it's written in Electron JS.

    Discord works perfectly fine out of the box, and even tho it is centralized and closed-source it is still worth a shot due to its simplicity and free nature
