Matrix. Spin up a conduit server, doesn’t tale very long and it works great. Clients arent perfect but the next gen clients are available in beta (element x) and will fix a lot of the issues current gen clients have
I use Element (not X) daily, but a major frustration is that sometimes messages that you’ve received won’t show up until you restart the client. In the past a lot of “Waiting for this message, this may take a while” also appeared. In the android app there is also no search function.
Don’t get me wrong I love the concept and the app so far, but it isn’t nearly as polished as Discord is (which I also use daily)
What’s the alternative? Honestly asking, discord has been kinda shit and the spam bots recently have gotten out of control

Revolt, matrix/element, you could try client modifications(ventord or better discord on desktop)
What’s shit about it? Spam bots? I only hang out in private servers, including my own, so I don’t see any spam or that it doesn’t work well.
IRC
I miss mIRC, maybe it is time to take a look back.
Dalnet. There are dozens of us. Dozens.
Hey, I’m out of the loop, haven’t touched discord in a year or two.
What has gotten so shit about it?
Feature bloat. Adding lots of stuff that most people arent really asking for, tanking the performance of the app.
