I tested out revolt and element. Out of the two element seems to be the most well rounded. What do you people use to replace discord to protect your privacy?

Yup. If you're paranoid, you can self-host and watch network traffic to ensure things are encrypted when they're supposed to be.

Sure but how do you know those encrypted requests don't contain personal or unexpected information?

Set up two clients and send data between them. You can have it log out exactly what data is being sent since the whole thing is FOSS.
