My group and I floated around different services for a while, self-hosting what we could. The requirements for us were really just a server with text channels and persistent messages, voice chat, and screen sharing.
We tried:
We finally landed on GameVox recently which has good voice and video, easy discord server import for channels and permissions, good chat features, and an extremely responsive dev who fixes issues almost immediately. I find that it isn't as pretty as other alternatives out there and unfortunately it isn't open-source, but the additional features compared to the other options will probably make it our new home for quite a while.
My personal best solution is to use both matrix and teamspeak... but its hard to get others on board. If im ever rewuired to give discord proof of who i am, then thats the final straw and friends can come over or rip i guess
