For Users
Revolt is an open source chat website/program/app. While the project doesn't say it out loud, Revolt is designed as a replacement for Discord. It has many (but not yet all) of the features present in Discord.
Revolt has a web app, desktop programs, as well as mobile apps.

Other Alternatives
The following are some other services that offer discord like chat:
Spacebar Looks promising but seems to be rather early in development. No apps yet. Built as a 1-to-1 reverse engineer of discord, with compatability of existing clients and bots in mind.
