Dude my dnd campaign is run on Discord what the fuck. Do I need to start hosting open source voice and video chat?
it's fine as long as you dont have the server marked as 18+
also, supposedly they will be having an ai determine people who are 18+ so you might not even need to upload anything
still, if this leaves too sour of a taste in your mouth the alternatives i can think of off the top of my head are: teamspeak (although i dont think they have teamspeak 6 server files available yet?), riot! (now called stoat apparently?), mumble, matrix, and jitsi meet
oh yeah if you're ok seperating the chat and voice app i really like deltachat for chatting in the group
Riot renamed to Element.io, Revolt renamed to Stoat.chat
