Stoat (formerly known as Revolt) is a selfhostable, FOSS replacement for discord [Group chats and voice channels you can join any time].

Cool new name, however not as easy to use in other languages.

Voice chat is stil not officialy implemented.

Self-hosting there. Apparently nothing to do for you if you had already hosted before the name change.

The Android app has unfortunately disappeared (not been updated) on F-droid.

Because it's litteraly a copy of discord.

Yes, last time I tried Revolt it looked shamelessly like Discord's UI.

I feel that if they just wanted an app with the look and feel of discord, it would have made more sense to make a matrix (or maybe xmpp) client with the look and feel of discord. I honestly don't see much value in yet another protocol if the only distinctive feature is in the look & feel of the UI. Specially if they are not designing the stack in a way that is at least as good as those other options from a security, privacy, feature extensibility and decentralization standpoint.
