Basically, I need a Discord alternative with the security of Element/Riot but the ease-of-use of, well, Discord.

Anyone have anything to use?

        It is a lightweight protocol (like matrix but more lightweight) which is run on many different servers and XMPP is open source. XMPP is like email for instant messaging.

        Servers

        With XMPP you want a server that you communicate on. One I have used is shad0w which is free: https://www.shad0w.io/ A list of XMPP hosts: https://list.jabber.at/

        XMPP Clients

        You then need a client for XMPP. Think of this like Element, it runs on the underlying protocol (for element that is Matrix). So for your client you want something that you like that is compatible with your OS. A list of XMPP clients: https://xmpp.org/software/clients.html
