Any good options recommended for self-hosting something similarly functional that doesn't take too much effort to get up, audit, maintain? Discovery isn't really important for me, so federated isn't really necessary, but a cool extra. I'd love to host something or contribute to hosting for my gaming groups, my class or multiple classes at my school, or otherwise. Voice, chat, screen share, camera, would all be great if possible, but range of options would be good. I'm still using Mumble for gaming...
Haven't tinkered much with Matrix nor do I know much about Revolt, but I'm curious before I look into it deeper if anyone in the community has experience hosting any communication platforms for small, invitational groups.
Matrix is probably be the best bet atm, although I'm hoping for Spacebar to get more mature as they are aiming for feature parity and compatibility with discord. This way you can host your server with Spacebar, use their client and still be friends with discord users/be in discord servers that haven't switched yet. Only thing impossible with Spacebar is discord users joining your self hosted server, but once they reach feature maturity (esp in regards to voicechat and videochat) it'll make switching super seamless.
