Yes, in the sense that I can join such for various groups like games,
etc where someone else has paid for the server.

Best I've managed is to follow the text chat and swap between
discussion groups on "the server" and occasionally I manage to receive
audio. but not send. Nor have I ever received a video feed, but I
believe that requires a subscription

I do not know whether this depends on having pulse audio, but I only use
alsa.

I do not particularly like Discord as it doesn't turn off/exi and I have
to hunt down and kill the daemon and some of he severs tend to use
pesterpost to continually send messages about "what you missed". Not my
scene.

Usenet & IRC serves me fine, when I want it.

Although I was looking last night for linux based "conference/meeting
software that I might be able to run to host free local
discussions/"virtual meetings" for various local community groups shut
down by Sars-cov2/covid-19 virus, but the few were all $$$$.
