It's quite an impressive little app. Under the hood, it's an advanced XMPP client that has:
* Excellent text chats with file upload support, including solid optional encryption (OMEMO, based on Signal's encryption but modified to be compatible with federation)
* Group voice/video calls with screensharing (must use a chromium based browser to screenshare an app's audio at the moment)
* A neat integrated blogging feature for communities & individuals
* a fun built-in paint program to draw stuff into the chat
* Full working and proven federation thanks to the XMPP back-end, which allows it to scale up reliably and easily self-host (XMPP is very lightweight).
* Uses the AGPL license, ensuring that cropos won't be able to take it over. It'll be community-owned forever.
In message-mode, it looks fairly similar to Discord:

If you're curious if it'd work as a Discord replacement, it's still missing Discord-like servers with collections of rooms in them, as well as drop-in voice rooms. However, the developer is [actively working on implementing those features](
