I’ve been following Revolt/Stout, River on FreeNet since I found it on FUTO, and others but frankly all alternatives I’ve found suck for varius reasons
Teamspeak 6 with the teamspeak 6 beta server is a great solution for my small community. I’m hosting a dedicated server on my mini PC that is used just for servers.
