revolt.chat/ is also an open source Discord clone, but doesn't federate, so you end up with a single super server anyway, so the open source and self-hostable part becomes rather moot.

Why do you think you would end up with a single super server? It is enough when the client can connect to multiple servers at once. Your chats would be on your servers, and mine on mine, and each of our clients would connect to both.
Why would you even want to federate a chat server? It only complicates things – you do no longer have an authoritative timeline, and you invite spam the way Google Hangouts died in spam before it defederated random Jabber servers.

That really would be enough, agreed. That's really all I meant: use 1 account (registered on whatever server) to connect to everyone else.
