Mastodon isn’t really a replacement for discord though.
True. Matrix is more for that. Or possibly SimpleX.
Unfortunately there's not really anything that comes close to Discord.
Revolt is the closest, as it's open source and self-hostable but still lacks many of the features and isn't federated.
Element is almost identical.

Not even close.
I only used it once a while ago. What doesn't it do that Discord does that you also need?
~~SimpleX doesn't even have a desktop client.~~ IT DO! Discord is mostly used for gaming.
I do believe it does have a desktop client.
good luck trying to get family and friends on that lol
Discord is not really intended for "friends and families", it's for communities.
It's not really for communities either, it's for locking communities into a corporate platform.
...so it's not for communities, it's for communities...?
