    Mumble are for real time communication not differed and persistent chat like Discord.

    If you use Discord to chat with friends through voice, and not for the community chat features (channels with persistent text and multimedia), Mumble is the best option, even without screen sharing or video support: it's free software, very lightweight, and self-hosted - you're in control, not a money-greedy company. You can compensate for these two missing resources in other ways.
