Oli-6253’s note
open source, self-hostable, federation coming in the future looks and feels super similar to Discord freemium but premium features are free if self-hosted a little slow right now because of a influx of users because of the recent Discord controversy

doing something similar

open source, centralised great alternative if you use Discord only for chatting and calling with friends or small communities which don't require multiple channels supports now group calls with a link (so you don't have to join a group) free
Delta Chat
Like
Uses email as a decentralized chat platform with modern interface, open source code, no central servers, strong privacy controls, and no account signup.
