I know there is revolt as a FOSS alternative to discord but it's not federated.

I hear a lot about Matrix, but the instructions for self hosting seem very complicated. If anyone has a simpler method, or script I’d be happy to use it.

This repo does a great job of simplifying it. The deployment process is completely automated with ansible, has the best documentation you could ask for https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

Awesome thanks so much!

It is complicated. Most complex thing I've ever set up.

I don't think there's a simplified version, every step is needed.

I am self hosting matrix synapse, it's actually much easier than XMPP with SSL certs generated by Caddy. Ejabberd doesn't play well with them.

EDIT: with docker.
