I'm genuinely curious what would be a good alternative to Discord for something like this

[–] Corbin@programming.dev 10 points 5 months ago

Mattermost is the most obvious option; it's a clone of Slack. IRC is another good option, although I know a lot of people hate it because they prefer features to freedom. I cannot recommend Matrix; the UX is fine but the cryptography has a few issues, as documented by Soatok here.

Revolt chat. Pretty much an open source discord.

IRC, XMPP, Matrix (in order of personal preference)

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Matrix and matter most are my top two. Matrix is preferred because of the federation support and a pretty good bridge (to services such as discord) ecosystem.
