Matrix/Element (or whatever app you like), whilst not a direct alternative to Discord is very close to it. And the fact its E2EE and decentralised makes the minor differences much more palatable. Revolt have been promising E2EE for years and yes I can see its on their roadmap but at this point I doubt it’ll be here in the next year or two, if ever.
Those are not an alternative to Discord though and Revolt can be self-hosted. Also some kind of federation might be a thing.

I self host revolt and mattermost, my issue with revolt is the apps only support connecting to the central instance right now.
My issue with mattermost is it’s like slack where you can’t have fine grained permissions.
Then why not just use Mumble/murmur?
Mumble is great, but not really an actual alternative to Discord imho.
