With the recent news about discord asking for face or ID scan, what other alternatives are there that we can recommend to our less tech-savvy friends?

Dont say stoat. Revolt failed and renamed to stoat instead of writing any code. The project is as mismanaged as Tox.
Your current options are:
Jitsi, Matrix, Simplex and Mumble
Thanks for the info on Stoat. Unfortunately, all those options either objectively aren’t alternatives, or they have major limitations.
Yup. Combine more than one for now. There is no real alternative here.
Seems to be under active development?
In the past year all they’ve really done is rename. It’s still pre-alpha and seems like they’re all front end devs
I thought they did a complete rewrite of the voice/video stuff?

That’s the last entry in their website changelog. It’s from October, the previous posts don’t really detail changes to code. I can’t find even a roadmap to getting cryptography implemented.
the rename is because of some other company throwing a fit, its not their choice
Jitsi sucked. Mumble is voice only?
Jitsi is for video conference specificallly. Mumble is voice only, very mature and still maintained
