They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    I think there’s definitely room to have an open source Discord alternative.

    IRC with history and images

    Voice/video chat

    Wiki hosting

    Have a client and website that can link right to them and you’re away. But again, it’s going to cost something to run it, be it hosting fees or a small server in somebody’s house along with bandwidth. And Discord doesn’t unless you count privacy, which most people don’t.
