Probably because open source alternatives have had decades to do better and still haven’t.

    It's open source, the guy that responded to me didn't bother to look at it.

    Oh nice, never heard of it before. How does it actually compare to Discord?

    It got an influx of people and is laggy, but when it works... it honestly feels just like discord. I haven't seen screen sharing working yet but the dev in the discord was saying he was working on an update to alleviate the lag and it would make self-hosting easier, which would also help alleviate lag indirectly
