Just learned about Revolt.chat. It looks to have great potential. It’s basically a Discord clone.

Revolt is promising in that it’s trying to be a direct Discord clone, but it’s also being made by one person as a passion project, and it sounds like it’s their first time doing a project of this size. Last time I checked, encryption was not even implemented in it yet.

Matrix is distinctly different from Discord, but it’s certainly more mature and featurefull as well.

Couldn’t agree more. Revolt is still in it’s infancy, but it has great potential.

I just had a KDE/Gnome flashback from reading your comment.

Personally I don’t trust it. Don’t really have any reason not to but it just feels eh to me. Just use matrix

Matrix is great at what it does, but it’s not a replacement for Discord imho.

I guess if you like matrix thats cool, but I did just do a quick google and it looks like their clients and server backend are all open source (AGPL-3) and self-hostable so I wouldn’t say there’s much to distrust.
