Anyone tried revolt.chat?
On a glance it seemed to work well enough.
There's also Matrix chat, which is federated.
Yeah, functionally it's much more similar to Discord. It's a shame it isn't federated.
What does being federated give it?
It means users aren't dependant on a centralized service provided by the developers themselves.
That doesn't really answer the question since anything that is self-hostable already meets your criteria even if it's not federated.
It's a communication platform. People are forced to use the same host if they want to communicate on a non-federated platform.
