I used IRC a fre years ago. It’s “active” but mostly small groups of close friends.
Honestly, I really wish we had an open source version of discord, discord just works. Revolt sounds promising, but I couldn’t get the email verification to send on either Yahoo, Gmail, or Proton email. So trying to convince my friends to switch if something that basic doesn’t would be a hard sell.

Signal works pretty well.
It doesn’t have all the features of Discord, but I also think Discord has too many features used for things that it shouldn’t do.
