haven’t gotten around to trying it myself. But the fact that it’s built on XMPP is cool, and I hate that that all these new clients seem to develop their own new standards rather than build off what already exists.
Sounds like movim as a project has been around for a while, but recently moved to be more discord like in intention, so it’s picked up interest there.
It’s based on XMPP, which means it’s open-source, federated, and has E2EE in private chats. It also supports video calls, including in groups (which most other Discord alternatives have problems with).
Also, there’s no phone number or even email requirement to sign up. You can set a recovery email, but you can skip that step during setup. Just pick a server, username, and password
The main thing it’s missing right now is “places” aka what Discord calls servers/guilds. But they’re currently working to roll that feature out soon

No game suggestions, friend requests, surveys, or begging.
No Let’s Plays, streams, highlight reels/montages, random videos or shorts.
No off-topic posts/comments, within reason.
Use the original source, no clickbait titles, no duplicates.
(Submissions should be from the original source if possible, unless from paywalled or non-english sources.
If the title is clickbait or lacks context you may lightly edit the title.)
Movim seems like a much better option, they just need a few weeks to get a couple of extra features out
Tell me more?
