About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Matrix Manifesto We believe:

People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.

I ran a TS3 server for years that we used and it was fine. Didn't have the chat features we now have with discord but as a voip it was great.

Me too. It's still running but been empty for a long time now. Originally set it up in 2009 (Back then it was TS2). I was immensely disappointed in TS5. I thought it will be something more akin to selfhosted discord, but when they announced that the TS3 server will be compatible with the TS5 Client I already lost hope. Its just a reskin of the client with some weird online service integration. Haven't looked at it in a while but last I checked it wasn't even feature complete and you were not able to edit permissions with then new client. Mind boggling that its been in development for >5 Years now.

that's pretty disappointing to hear. You'd think that they'd update the client to give it discord-like features since that's clearly what people want.
