I really like this update, because it will force people to check better alternatives. Also, I don't use Discord because I have no friends.

Any recommendations that already have good size populations and work across multiple devices?

Getting people off Skype was a big ordeal. Let alone Discord.

I use Matrix, which is filled with a bunch of Linuxheads and FOSSQueers, so it may not be to your liking. Other alternatives are Jami and Simplex.

An ejabberd instance can handle 2 million concurrent users. The free software XMPP server is used by the likes of League of Legends, Fortnite, Zoom. If it’s a good enough for them, it would easily handle your community, big or small.
