Hey folks, there is an up and coming Discord alternative. It is called "Revolt" https://revolt.chat/. It is completely separate from Discord, and is being run by a small team of devs and mods (I am not part of the platform dev or mod team). I am just a user and server owner and want to spread the word.

The app itself is very good, although changes are implemented slowly because the folks working on it are volunteer and work on it as a labor of love in their spare time. It does have voice chat like Discord, but can be a bit wonky. The voice server is supposed to be replaced soon with something more robust. At this time, screen share is not available.

However, if you are looking for a Discord alterative (if even just to have as a backup to Discord), this is the right place.

Should you be interested in joining my Disability server on Revolt, please feel free to do so: https://rvlt.gg/9xNVbPdK

Hope to see you there!

That's just another big corp doing the exact same thing

It can apparently be self hosted, but it's still centralised https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted?tab=readme-ov-file

Doesn't matrix already exist

Right on. In fact, I still have the Element client for Matrix, but it just wasn't quite what I was looking for. It is pretty awesome in terms of being decentralized though.
