About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Matrix Manifesto We believe:

People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.

Element is a Matrix client, Revolt is compatible to discord though.

Comparable* not compatible. It's also not federated right?

It says it "bridges" to discord (and others)

https://element.io/integrations

Bridging is what enables a Matrix-based app, such as Element, to interoperate with traditional proprietary apps - for instance, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Signal, Telegram or WhatsApp. (and discord)

its not free though. So rather pointless for single individuals

you can self host a matrix server and bridge to all of them (apart from teams) yourself https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
