i honestly can't sing the praises of mistserver enough as a discord replacement from the streaming angle, at least 1:1 with another person (alongside using signal for voice/video/chat)

@scarlet_somnus was streaming via obs using the whip protocol to my server from the UK (my server is sitting on my desk in minnesota) and we were consistently at less than 1 second of latency with a good quality, stable stream

@eri And one would use this over something like Owncast since it offers password protection? (Couldn’t find screenshots on the site, so unclear about interface.)
@helianthropy that unfortunately i can't speak to, i've never used owncast
@helianthropy i will say i password protected the link you have go to to watch the stream, just through other means
@eri Owncast is a public, single stream setup with ActivityPub integration for account verification and notifications with integrated chat (with moderation tools) and some limited API for other integrations. (Comparable to Twitch in being able to be centrally listed.)
@helianthropy yeah it's sounded neat from what i've read about it, i just haven't used it
