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?

Teamspeak 3 is ancient, but works.

However there is a new version of Teamspeak (TS5) which is much closer to Discord and looks much nicer. You could give that a try

There was a TS4?

There's guilded, have an old guild leader in tech that always tries to get us to be guinea pigs for different voips, and that one isn't terrible if discord isn't available.

Ventrilo, is that even around anymore?
Mumble wasn't too bad,

Alternatively mumble and murmur, but the setup is more elaborate.
