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.
Maybe not intended to be, but they work fine as one [ime]
Revolt can be self hosted, but i’d still consider it centralized, since when we are talking about “revolt” we are talking about the main instance. I haven’t seen another instance sadly
However the devs are working on E2EE, and they [no promises] said they’ll think about implementing federation. I’ll keep my eyes on it, because if it does i’d definitely be excited for that
No encryption and centralized.
I’d recommend matrix/XMPP instead (based on the context, a server ran in the EU ofc)
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.
