If you can convince my friends to leave then I'll leave too

Is there an alternative that has voice chat and streaming capabilities? That's the main hang up I'm having in migrating to something like Revolt.

I never understood how it replaced TeamSpeak in the first place. At the same time, they were stagnating and not making it better... But still odd.

Discord STILL has no sound notification when you are talking muted. Such an absolutely basic feature. Not to mention their laughably bad sounds for (un)muting that sound almost alike.

Cause none of my friends will leave discord so you can say "vendor-lock in"
