To make it clear to those who are misunderstanding: that's a list of companies that host matrix for you. They do it at a good price.

If you and your friends chip, it'll be a few bucks a pop per month to have your own private server with voice chat rooms and video chat rooms.

It's all opensource and contributes to the ecosystem. Best of all, no age verification because the data is yours.

I already commented elsewhere but I think https://commet.chat/ is the best alternative, it runs on matrix, has voice chat and text. Still needs some work but I think it’s the better part of both worlds

It absolutely seems like the best alternative, yeah. I'll need to get some back end stuff handled to test calling (or just make an account on a server with it), and see how it works
