Fuck Discord is the common message now, but how about we amplify good alternatives? It'll be easier to tell Discord to fuck off if we're already set to move elsewhere.
Alternatives
I looked in stoat's issue tracker and there is an issue asking for video chat which is 5 years old and still open. Safe to say it's a dead project.
If I understand correctly, they recently rebuilt all of the voice/video stuff. Video should be coming soon, it's more of a resourcing issue for their servers.
I looked at self hosting, but it's a bit of a mess currently.
