My private groups solved this by using Matrix for text chat and Mumble for voice. It has push-to-talk and outstanding sound quality. Hosted Mumble servers are cheap, and self-hosting is pretty easy.
When Element Call (MatrixRTC) eventually leaves beta, we might switch to that, but it’s hard to beat Mumble for audio.
That is a must-have not just for me, but any other fucker in the channel who doesn’t want to be muted.
I don’t want to hear the fuckin darth vader breathing, dorito crunching, parents arguing, dog barking bullshit on the other end of the mic.
