Use Mastodon. You can use a server outside of your country. And even if your country attempts to find the operator, 10% of their global turnover of zero is still zero.
Mastodon isn’t really a replacement for discord though.
True. Matrix is more for that. Or possibly SimpleX.
Unfortunately there's not really anything that comes close to Discord.
Revolt is the closest, as it's open source and self-hostable but still lacks many of the features and isn't federated.
Element is almost identical.

Not even close.
I only used it once a while ago. What doesn't it do that Discord does that you also need?
Scan your system for running processes 😅
Most everything. It's also very complicated to use and slow as shit. You should try actually using it and find out for yourself.
Everyone keeps recommending Revolt but I tried it last week and it's janky as hell and the voice chat just straight up didn't work. This wasn't just me, too. Our whole group tried it and gave up.
Well that lines up with what I said.
