Self-hosted experience (with Docker):
Element is slow, voicechat once worked but borked itself over time, it broke itself twice during upgrades, as a user the setup and constant hassle with encryption makes it not worth it.

Stoat is reworking their voicechat system which means is has no voicechat/call support when self-hosted, which makes it not suitable as a Discord replacement imo. It has the essential text chat features down but so do many other apps, like Steam.
You see my point.

testing Element for some Time now and I like it. Only problem I have is that I can't use keyboard shortcuts to mute/un-mute and background noise is not removed like in discord.

want to vote for Element (Matrix). Works well for calls, video calls and messaging but the software is not great. The recent 'X' flavour is just dire.l

I used it like a forum, so I'd replace it with Discourse

I tried Stoat for my community, but only a handful moved and they were not active anyway. So still on Discord...
