Ok Fedifriends - I'm sure I'm only the millionth person to ask, but I want to confirm I'm on the right course here. Discord is poop. I want to self host something that offers text, voice, and video chat for a small group of friends. Is Matrix my best option? Have at me fellow nerds.

Rig is an old gaming PC running NixOS.
