Time for a #discord alternatives thread, for no particular reason.
I've actually been looking into all available options for the past few weeks for other reasons, so here's a thread to share what I've found.
In particular I'm looking for stuff with:
* Data sovereignty
* Strong moderation tools
* Wide platform support
Hopefully this gives everyone else some ideas too, and feel free to chime in with corrections, suggestions or anything else!

First, Rocket Chat. * Released * Paid after 50 users (nb: a "community" edition exists too) * OSS * Self-hostable * No E2E (nb: has it manually for DMs) * Supports calls * No web client (nb: does have a web client) (nb: feedback in the replies points to rocket.chat perhaps being more viable than I thought) This one had so much promise, but from what I can tell is enshittifying in a similar vein to Discord. Not being free beyond 50 users even self-hosted is weird to me for an OSS project.
