Fluxer is an exciting alternative to discord. But can it manage the current momentum and overwhelming traffic ? That will be even more exciting. https://fluxer.app/
Signal can do voice/video calls fine? I use it all the time when gaming with friends

SonoBus:
It’s dead simple, free, P2P, and designed for remote music collaboration, so much lower latency than Discord. Even compression is optional and configurable, and it includes built in, tweakable filtering and gain settings.
And it works on everything. Android, iOS, desktop, all without any login. There’s a public server to start the initial connection (after which it’s purely P2P), but that’s self hostable if you wish.
It is a crime it’s so obscure. It’s basically perfect voice calling (and only voice calling), as long as everyone’s internet isn’t truly awful.

The best I found is Miro talk. Which is P2P and working in browser.
Maybe Stoat/Revolt is for you. Stoat has - in my opinion - the same look and feel as discord.
It is OpenSource, selfhostable and it comes with most features discord has - excluding nitro.
There is an Android, Linux and Windows APP.

Sharkord got released last week with a very strong foundation. I have tried it with a friend who uses Discord daily and he said "this is truly a pure clone of Discord" and I can't do more than agreeing with him.
Despite it's in alpha stage, I do really recommend it. Many pull requests with fast releases and the developer are very keen to make every pull request solid before releasing to the main branch.
