RIP Discord: Self-Hosted Discord Alternatives Tested (TeamSpeak, Stoat, Fluxer, Matrix, & More)

Sponsor: Arctic MX-7 Thermal Paste on Amazon https://geni.us/WbHJ This compares Discord alternatives to migrate off of Discord and onto other platforms; however, as a twist, we're focusing purely on self-hosted alternatives to the Discord chat application today. There are a lot of options that aren't self-hosted, but we specifically wanted to find something that is less likely to be corruptible via ID verification for accounts (like Discord is now going through) or other concerning decisions. This search included a focus on features like threads, end-to-end encryption (E2EE), messaging functionality, mobile and desktop applications, and more. We compare Matrix, Element, TeamSpeak, Rocket Chat, Mattermost, Zulip, Stoat, and Fluxer to the best of our abilities, but note that we don't consider ourselves experts in any of these applications, and so this is based on our experience of 3 weeks of testing the Discord alternatives.
