They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    I’d say Matrix / Elements is a good alternative.

    It’s based on an open and interoperable protocol, similar to the fediverse. So it doesn’t matter the client, as long as your friends are on something that support Matrix they’ll be able to join the group.

    As an added bonus, if elements start going down the enshittification path you can just drop them. Also, you can host your server just like teamspeak

      Appreciate the response, I’ll give matrix and elements a look-see.

      Unfortunately I’m the only among the group that interacts with(or even knows of) the fediverse and it’s associated softwares, so I expect there to be some drama involved, hopefully I can be the salesman they need.
