Mumble for voice chat. (It already beats Discord in that department.) A server can be self-hosted, or rented for dirt cheap.
Matrix is getting better all the time, and although it won't replace all of Discord's features today, it is catching up. I already use it for text chat, and wouldn't be surprised if it could take over for video, screen share, etc. in the next year or so.
Tip for people wanting to try Matrix now: Consider disabling encryption on your Discord replacement rooms until Matrix 2.0 is fully released, to avoid occasional frustrating glitches. That won't be a loss coming from Discord, which doesn't have end-to-end encryption anyway.
