I'm trying to get away from corporate owned software and support FOSS stuff.

Normally if I wanted to play a game online I would use a discord server and some kind of vtt. Since discord is not looking great rn, where would you guys recommend playing?

Any vtt recs are good too but I don't strictly need one. A way to chat and roll dice is essential though

We have a discord server that we are slowly migrating into a federated and self-hosted IRC and Galene setup. IRC because it's easy to setup both servers and clients, Galene is a voice/video chat system that can be self-hosted and is comparatively lightweight and can do a few things you can't easily do with discord. (Share multiple windows from the same or different computers for example).
We also tried with jitsi meet before, which works, but is more resource intensive to self-host.

I experimented with maptool a bit but it doesn't really fit my playstyle. We generally don't use vtts.
