None of those really “feel like” the things they’re replacing. I don’t really even think that should be the goal. They occupy the same space, though, and the infographic would look stupid if it showed all the options in some category, so they just picked a popular proprietary/centralized one, and a popular federated alternative in the same category. In this case discord is a popular chat app, and the most popular federa chat app afaict is matrix.

Is there a federated version, either in the works or planned? Because otherwise, Stoat is the only option.

Yes
Matrix

Matrix just isn’t up to it. It doesn’t feel like Discord at all. It hasn’t taken off in any meaningful way.

No.
Other alternatives are Root, not federated.
There’s also Roomy in development which is federated, and will tie into Bluesky.

Roomy says they plan to integrate federation in the future, though it doesn’t have it now.
