Probably nothing has really changed. And I am not claiming it to be a Discord killer, as it really only does the voice rooms well.

But I am recommending it if you and your friends just need a voice room or two (as me and my friends do).

I have tried XMPP, Matrix and now I’ve settled on Mumble.

Me and my fellows mostly just need a voice room or a couple to sit in, and Mumble does that best out of these three, in my opinion.

I recommend giving Mumble a try as it is super easy to set up and use. Users don’t need to even create accounts to join servers.

I found ejabberd to be more easy to configure than prosody. I just recently tried both, and couldn’t get prosody to work with my certs.

I can give you my podman run files if you’d like!
