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?

Ah okay, yeah they probably don't have the backend servers for it as it has grown slowly if at all over the past year. Revolt is meant to be run on independent self hosted backends similar to Lemmy (only without federation) but humans are going to be humans, and simply pile into the one largest, most common Revolt instance and cause huge traffic problems.
