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?

That's news to me. Where do they not allow new accounts signing up????

Since Discord was blocked in Russia today, everyone went to revolt, which cannot deal with so many registrations for now

So you're saying revolt is about to have a shitton of russian users, which means it's about to become a pro-russian war hub. You know what they say about nazis. Allow one nazi into your bar, and he'll invite his friends. Soon enough, your bar isn't a bar with a few nazis in it. It's become a nazi bar.

Same concept, different facists.

Your reply sounds pretty xenophobic, ngl Isn't it better for Russian people to get access to information that Russian government doesn't control?

More like jingoistic, which is rather tiresome anymore. "Nazi" today is a virtually meaningless pejorative, and my dead grandparents are rolling in their graves having escaped real Nazis.
