I've seen mentioned these:

  • Stoat - pretty much same UI, based in UK, not sure where they get $$
  • Fluxer - looks virtually like 1:1 Discord clone, based in Sweden, has paid tier pretty much like Nitro on Discord on official server
  • Nerimity - a little different UI, but still very Discord-y, based in UK, sourced from donations
  • Movim - this one is interesting, but it's not really Discord style app; it looks more like cross breed between IM and social network (FB/X), origin in France
  • Strafe - looks like Discord, supposedly have e2ee
  • Spacebar - reverse engineered Discord, IDK about maturity of this one
  • Adapt - another wanna be

It's literally on Fluxer.

Pros:

  • AGPLv3, WITHOUT a CLA
  • Familiar Discord UI
  • Text and voice channels
  • Images, attachments, gifs
  • Emojis, reactions
  • Screensharing and video calls
  • Main server runs decently fast
  • Federation is coming
  • Not based in UK or US

Cons:

  • Only 1 dude working on it
  • You can optionally buy Plutonium, which isn't necessarily bad, they need money, and the code stays Open Source™
  • No mobile app yet (they're working on it)
  • The main server has had some downtime... which I think are just growing pains
  • I don't have friends to invite to Fluxer

This looked perfect! Right up until the no API support. By no means am I asking of that either, just happens to look really nice but also lack that feature.
