While I agree (and do not use discord OR SLACK myself) the main issue in FLOSSland is that all VoIP solutions we have, and are many, are damn complex and long to deploy.
To succeed in having people self-host things we need something that can be deployed for distro packages effortless. In the past we have had some example of distributed stuff (aMule, RetroShare, Ring etc) we need something similar. Like a go or python app able to deploy without specific knowledge required. Otherwise most people will simply give up.
With RustDesk we have finally a good FLOSS solution to share screen over the internet for all, deploy the server part is BADLY DOCUMENTED, two distinct component with obscene names (hbbs and hbbr), but still something easy to deploy in few minutes not having read nothing about that specif sw or desktop sharing in general before.
For VoIP we are still far from being there.
