So anyone who knows some good altenatives that are either FOSS or EU based?
Stoat (formerly Revolt), is a strong FOSS competitor with a Discord-like feeling

https://github.com/stoatchat
The last time I looked into Stoat (back when it was Revolt), they had basically no cryptographic capabilities enabled. Have they added any e2e features at all yet? Like, the overall impression I got from them it is that it's being developed mainly by someone who seems pretty new to programming in general, and that makes me feel pretty cautious.
In no particular order, and not all are EU or FOSS But most are FOSS. I think only the first 6 are both EU and FOSS clients. I may not have marked all of the Self Hosted ones, but I think I did.

Making you aware that the age requirement probably comes from the EU. Seeking another EU based solution might introduce the same requirement.
it's from the uk and texas.
Element/Matrix and Stoat (formerly Revolt)
Both have discord like communities (albeit elements are a little different), self hostable and are open source
I missed a feature like voice rooms in discord server in elements it only had server groupcalls last time i looked. Did this change ?
