I think these smaller scale, single instance Discord alternatives are honestly the way to go for a lot of people. I don’t use Discord at all in my personal life, but my family use WhatsApp/Telegram/etc a lot and I see these more as an alternative to those rather than Discord specifically.
While I like the idea of NC Talk, it’s seems like a real pain to setup if you didn’t start out using the Nextcloud AIO container like me.
I don’t want to link to other instances or have bridging, I want something I can set and forget on a family member’s phone and know their stuff isn’t going to be fed into alphamicrobook’s combine-data-harvester or that they’re going to fall victim to a pig-butchering scam.
This looks like a great solution, even if it’s a little rough around the edges.
