Stoat (formerly known as Revolt) is a selfhostable, FOSS replacement for discord [Group chats and voice channels you can join any time].

Cool new name, however not as easy to use in other languages.

Voice chat is stil not officialy implemented.

Self-hosting there. Apparently nothing to do for you if you had already hosted before the name change.

The Android app has unfortunately disappeared (not been updated) on F-droid.

Edit: added short description for clarification

@Alfredolin Matrix has metadata leaks tho, and it isn't perfect. You could try Mattermost, I have done so yet. The thing I'm doing is just making groups in Signal or even just sticking to plain old Discord. It's kind of like YouTube, where it's hard to find an actually good replacement.

My threat model does not require me to have something better than a selfhosted Matrix server. The point is leaving capitalist leechservices and/or US-based services.
