    Matrix does have all of that, though? Except for voice.

    I use matrix/element for socializing and Mumble for voice chat while gaming.

    To respond to each comment:

    • Element is a unified UI, available on PC/Web/Mobile.
    • Starting and managing a community involves hitting the + button, creating a community, creating rooms in that community, then setting permissions and ACLs - pretty similar to discord, though with more control as you own the server.
    • Embedded content is possible through the embed button.
    • Video and voice work, but aren’t great for gaming (see below).

    Element Call (aka the new MatrixRTC spec) is great for video calls, but leaves a lot to be desired for chatting while gaming.
