Discord would be much better with open source software and a federated/decentralized platform.

I don't really use Discord, it's handy for crypto sometimes.

It seems hard to avoid anymore. It got popular by gamers. The lie-filled woke-implosion of FreeNoode IRC didn't help by erasing the trusting and reasonable alternative. It seems like crappy monetized chat to me. The Yahoo Messenger of the day. Yet, at least it works and is free.

Discord was literally designed to create drama and arguments, hence the name

How about just a damn IRC server? Those still exist and you can run one on a potato chip computer.

Have a privately-hosted Mumble or Teamspeak server on the side if you need to have voice chat, too.

They have a matrix server apparently but I haven't checked it out.
