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?

I’ve been hosting Zulip for my group on a $10 a month Digital Ocean droplet (setting up was relatively straight forward) , and it’s been working great for us. One thing we found was that stuff like Discord is really bad for people who aren’t constantly on because it’s really hard to follow threads and conversations with them being all mixed together. Zulip has threaded conversations by default, so it’s much easier to come back and catch up on what’s happening.
The UI is a bit different though and takes a bit of getting used to, but overall I definitely find it worth it.
Primary question from me is: does Zulip have good security like Element?
What you said sounds really tempting but I want to make sure that what I’m doing is secure.
If you’re running your own server then it should be secure since you control access to it, and messages are sent using TLS encryption.
Great!
