@soleluke Thank you, will dig a bit deeper into that protocol with this awareness.

@Kathmandu Thank you!

@soleluke This is very helpful! Thank you for all of the valuable insight. I think for this particular group, one-service-to-rule-them-all is not strictly necessary, but I do a good deal of community organizing with groups also expressing interest in these types of tools, and for those non-technical audiences, I'm looking to evaluate whatever most closely imitates the ease of use that these folks are accustomed to in their big platform alternatives.

Requesting advice! Friend group is seeking to transition off of Discord and onto a self-hosted alternative. We've got a decent number of folks with IT & software engineering experience, but not a lot of direct experience with hosting tools of this sort. One member previously self-hosted and liked TeamSpeak, but persistent text chat is an absolute must for our gang. What should I be considering as I research options? Are there solutions mature enough to invite less technical users in?
