Jitsi Meet and Matrix are missing system-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) (to replace Discord).

Tell Element Call -> call.element.io (Settings > Feedback)

Tell SimpleX -> github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/2398
Alternatives (obviously must be cross-platform end-to-end encrypted libre software)?

Mumble isn’t call based. It works like Discord and has push to talk.
Reworded:
You can do it yourself and let them use it?
This won’t get them deleting Discord. It won’t spread. I should just fix push-to-talk for myself externally, in PipeWire/WirePlumber, and keep promoting Jitsi, Matrix or SimpleX. If there’s a way to do that on Windows and macOS too, that would be a better workaround.
Also, they won’t get end-to-end encryption on my Mumble server, so I could still read all their private messages.
Better than Discord reading them all and feeding them and their voice comm. into Discord’s AI.
But look, if it was easy, we wouldn’t have this discussion. Somewhere we need to start and hosting your own Mumble server is such a small start.
Or use something better.
