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.

Teamspeak and Mumble (which I prefer because it's free and open-source... also already vastly superior sound quality years ago when Teamspeak was stil the common option most peope used) are indeed "separate applications" doing only one of the jobs... voice communication in this case.

The main trouble with Stoat and Fluxer from what I've seen is that they're both trying too hard to _be_ Discord, while neither of them are quite hitting the mark. They'll be interesting to follow in the future
