Nice. Doesn't cover video chat/screen share options, but this is a good rundown.

If you don't care about privacy or security AT ALL, there are some additional options like Guilded.

TeamSpeak6 is also out, and is great for voice/video, but is missing the forum-like chat experience.

Unfortunately, there are no drop-in replacements. All of them involve sacrificing functionality in some sense.

Maybe the recent controversies will drive additional development.

    Haven't used it much, but for the irc-part Stoat (Revolt) seems to cover Discord pretty much 1:1.

    It will - at some point - I hope. There are efforts being made currently to make the Livekit-based video chat available for the self-hostable container.

    Last I read is that it is implemented, just not enabled. Also that you should be able to enable it when you self host. According to this comment.
