Currently the best (in my subjective opinion) self-hostable, encrypted and federated (like lemmy/piefed) alternative is Movim.
It offers 90% of the features of Discord, including group video calls, group texts, and even screensharing with audio (must use a Chromium based browser currently to share the audio). The only feature missing is discord-style rooms, which the dev is currently working on to release as fast as possible.
It doesn’t even require an email to create an account, and runs right in your browser, so it has an extremely low barrier to entry. Give it a try with a friend to see if it can meet your needs! :D
For a more complete guide to swapping proprietary apps for safe open-source ones, I suggest referring to this post: lemmy.cafe/post/18663514
all these services are going to need to communicate with eachother to make it easier for people to leave the mainstream ones.
literally choose your client to use to join the server, it should be possible at some point.
servers that can accept other clients, even self hosted clients.
all of you devs may go bald, but that is the sacrifice I’m willing to make.

That is what XMPP, which Movim uses, allows today. There are many XMPP clients available that can all federate and communicate with each other, and anyone can self-host an XMPP server. I’m only pointing people to Movim since it is the most full featured client and keeps things simple (which is very important when onboarding new less technical users).
If you mean that truly all services should federate, like even Matrix, Signal, etc… that’s technically possible if every company and developer agreed to a single standard, but practically impossible as they will never agree to that single standard for various reasons (NIH syndrome, lack of control to create profit or lock in users, ego, legitimate different use-cases, etc).
This is simply incorrect. How is balant lying excusable in this situation? We shouldn’t forget about the fact that there was a massive leak of sensitive information from discord - this alone should strengthen the premise that their supposed intentions are not equal to what they factually do.
It is a drive towards fascism, the corpos and the state has no right to be disrespecting children and the youth, to do a thing they promise to do yet do the exact opposite.

Remember the multi-pass from 5th Element? This is not the future we were promised.

The fascist noose is tightening the world over thanks to proprietary big tech. We have to escape now while we can to open-source alternatives.
