As r/selfhosted seems to have shutdown due to the reddit api changes (rip), I wanted to see if anyone has worked with these services before?

How do they compare to Discord and how hard is it to maintain, as the setup looks pretty in depth for matrix and synapse. How did you convince your user base to use it over Discord.

I’ve hosted TS3 for about 8 years and are looking for alternatives, as we have to use Discord for screen sharing.

Thanks!

    So long as your users are not in a bunch of media heavy rooms, the storage usage is not bad When federated. I’ve got mine on a 2 core, 4GB VPS with 80GB of storage. 6 users, 2 active. I’ve been sitting at about 40% storage used for the last year. Just make sure you’ve set reasonable retention policies.
