Nice to see Mumble on it, that's the server I ran for my circle when we started gaming together and needed chat. Fine service, I can recommend it.
Teamspeak was the next server I fired up when that same circle decided we needed that, because "everybody else uses it" 🙄. Self-hosted but not Open Source, so I was less enthusiastic about that.
After Teamspeak they moved to Discord, which is neither self-hosted nor Open Source, so that was a hard pass for me.
Let's see if I can get them to use their accounts on my Matrix server now that some of them will realize it's time to move again 😎
