Do you think that the fediverse has something to gain with the enshitfication of discord? Are there voice chat programs in the fediverse that can benefit from it?

The reality is there isn't an alternative that would be easy enough for non-tech people.

I am never getting my friends off of Discord because there is nothing else that is easy for them and has same features - texting, calling and desktop sharing with sound.

Revolt.chat is quite similar to discord and open source. They do run a centralized server to make it easy for everyone to get onboard, but it can be self hosted as well.

That being said, I still don't use it because nobody else does, and that's the problem with all chat and social media apps.

Matrix is easy unless you try to do something complicated with it.

Have you tried the Signal app? Has all that and works pretty well!
