Its looking like Microsoft is gonna buy Discord. Preferably open source, and has a big userbase, and has Windows and Linux option. (but mainly windows because i only game on windows now.)

Not really a Discord alternative until they ship voice channels. Revolt chat is a straight up Discord clone, but it's not federated, they have really obfuscated the way to self host it, and their releases are way older than what the main server is running. Plus, it's developed by kids who don't give a crap about anything.

So, Matrix is the best chat out there, but it's not a Discord alternative.
