Give Revolt a try if you want something that feels like Discord without all the bloat.

Revolt seems pretty promising. Info is kinda scarce, are they a purely volunteer driven product?

ok so i have been using it for a year or so, you can voice chat, but there are still no video chats. and the voice chats are not even ideal, though, i'd advise to try it
