Discord alternatives? (lemy.lol)

Discord is banned in Turkiye. The reason is some data theft, blackmail, AI montage photos, etc. As usual, our government made the easiest and most illogical move :)

I am looking for an alternative platform to talk and chat with my friends. Which platforms do you recommend?

The ones I tried:

Revolt: Voice chat is not stable. They do not accept new registrations.
Matrix: Unstable overall.
TeamSpeak: ancient interface. We can still try it.
XMPP: It has an old interface like TS. Not sure if it has voice channels.
Your recommendations?

There isn't a full replacement for Discord out there, it'll have to be old school with multiple things together.

Teamspeak is great for voice comms (or Mumble). And you could use Matrix or XMPP for text chat. Matrix should be a lot better if you either self-host or join a smaller server that isn't so overloaded all the time.

For game streaming Broadcast Box paired with OBS Studio seems like a good option for low latency streaming.
