Revolt is an open source alternative to Discord. Revolt was created by a Brit afaik.
Last I checked, https://spacebar.chat/ seemed more interesting because it’s decentralized.
Afaik Revolt still has central servers.
Spacebar’s pretty cool! Someone on Revolt actually told me about it.
I tried to move my friends server to Revolt but we abandoned it because we could not make a music bot work. That’s literally all we use. Is it possible to stream music with a bot?
We use Remix for ours: https://rvlt.gg/Zyhzz8Xy
No encryption and centralized.
I’d recommend matrix/XMPP instead (based on the context, a server ran in the EU ofc)
Those are not an alternative to Discord though and Revolt can be self-hosted. Also some kind of federation might be a thing.
Maybe not intended to be, but they work fine as one [ime]
Revolt can be self hosted, but i’d still consider it centralized, since when we are talking about “revolt” we are talking about the main instance. I haven’t seen another instance sadly
However the devs are working on E2EE, and they [no promises] said they’ll think about implementing federation. I’ll keep my eyes on it, because if it does i’d definitely be excited for that
