Luckily, there are alternatives.

The best open source Video Calling alternative to Discord is Element. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Element

I'm not particularly confident about the quality of this page!

I think the "it's not free" is related to discord since there is a paid discord. But the sentence is quite confusing.

Speaking of, any good hosts that you could run one of those alternatives as well as a django website? 🤔

I use netcup

There are European hosts, but I admit, I'm not a techie. That's why I pay others to host and manage my stuff.
