I have a personal TeamSpeak server for my friend group since forever. I don't know if it's nostalgia, or I'm just old (31) but I can't imagine replacing it ever. Initially for gaming sessions, it became a place to hangout when you're on the computer, whatever you are doing.
It's light weight, usable on my phone, self-hosted, no emoji-fiesta, can send the one-off chat message that I NEVER need history of. It just works and it's OURS. Once in a while when it's down all of my friends panic.
I always thought there was a missing consumer app for my use case. There was/is Houseparty but I thought that video is too much. Clubhouse seems like it's doing something right but still not on point re. dropping in to a "familiar" place and hanging.
Discord on the other hand just feels so alienating to me.
