Any alternative you would recommend? I'm mostly using it for video group call for dnd. Although convincing the group to change to yet another program would be the hardest part.
As far as self hosted I’ve heard a lot about matrix but haven’t tried it. Maybe I’ll give it a shot this weekend.

There’s also telegram, slack, etc if you want something else commercial.
I've convinced few of my friends to use Matrix and it has been a really nice platform and now I prefer it to Discord not only because it respects user privacy but also because it doesn't have the nitro bs
Does Matrix have video calls by now?
They are just using an implementation of Jitsi for the time being. Long story short: Yes, but they are still working on it.
Only if you use Element. Seems like the new Element client is making it even better, but afaik no protocol level support: https://element.io/blog/element-x-now-with-embedded-voip/
