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?

What’s that
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
Thanks, I could use this.
Thats ok!
