Discord alternatives are complicated, because Discord is conceptual bullshit. It started as voice communication, yet became popular for the text communication.
So you won't find a good replacement (unless something new created in particular to mimic discord), because the things it now provides are better handled by seperate applications.
PS: ~~OBS should already work on it's own, without a dedicated webserver on your side. Basically every media program (also browser) should be able to handle streams~~
OBS' WHIP (WebRTC-HTTP Ingestion) support should allow direct connection to web browsers.
(I'll will take a look at it when I'm home)

There's quite a few Discord alternatives. IMO Stoat and especially Fluxer are pretty discord-like. Fluxer is pretty new and still working out kinks. They support (Stoat) or will support (Fluxer) self-hosting and Fluxer will implement (limited) E2EE. I have heard of other alternatives like Root, TeamSpeak, Mumble but cannot speak to them.
