It's too bad Teamspeak stopped existing as the excellence it was in the Teamspeak 2/3 era. By the end of TS3 they had already implemented nagware that would kill TS3 servers every $x months unless you reinstalled $latest. And now with Teamspeak 5 it's just Matrix. And Matrix is a super heavy protocol. You can't just spin up a matrix server on some random low end VPS with 512 MB of ram.

That's not the fault of the "heavy" protocol, but the implementation of it. As of now there's only 1 reference server implementation which is written in Python (Synapse), but https://conduit.rs/ and Dendrite are making good progress to be able to run on embedded devices.
TS5 is matrix? I’ve been using the TS5 beta client for over a year and I’ve been able to connect to my old TS3 server with no problems, both audio and text. I wasn’t aware there was a new TS5 server either, I thought they were going to keep the current one.
