Spacebar * Early days * Free * Open Source * Self-hostable * No E2E * No calls (yet) * Mod tools just like discord (soon) * Only a web app I'll admit this isn't a serious consideration, but deserves a call-out. Spacebar is an attempt to re-implement the discord server itself with identical API. This could be a great transitionary tool, it could plausibly mean we get all the good of Discord with none of the crap, but it's simply nowhere near ready from what I can tell.

Stoat (née Revolt) * Still somewhat beta * Free * Open Source * Self-hostable* * No E2E (planned) * Calls (video planned) * Mod tools just like discord * Available everywhere Stoat is the closest thing we have to a Discord killer, and is very much a discord clone, for better or worse. There's also something wonderful about seeing stuff like "femboy kingdom" among it's most popular servers, it's just so wonderfully queer coded and old-internet?
