    Hopefully Revolt (a Fediverse alternative to Discord) continues to improve and can completely take the place of Discord relatively soon.

    Edit: it might only be FOSS, not federated. Still a promising project though.

      I don’t think Revolt is Fediverse, afaik it’s entirely centralized without plans for interop or federation
      Please update me if I just didn’t find the right reference

        You’re correct.

        As of right now, Revolt does not feature any federation and it is not in our feature roadmap.

        However, this does not necessarily mean federation is off the table, possible avenues are:

        • Implement our own federation protocol
        • Implement a promising up and coming federation protocol, polyproto
        • Implement the Matrix protocol (unlikely, obtuse and unstable)
        • Implement the XMPP protocol (battle-tested and stable)

      Is Revolt federated? I thought it was only FOSS

      Matrix via Element works great for me personally and it’s available now. :-D

      I’m open to using non-federated software. I think federation is cool and useful but I don’t see it as necessary in any way when choosing what to use.

      The biggest things are features, existing username, and/or ease of getting my friends on it. User base size is why I didn’t use Mastodon for niche hobbies of mine.

      I’ll check it out! Even without being federated, it’s good to have a discord alternative. Matrix hasn’t been what I need yet, unfortunately.

      Afaik it’s a fork / copy of the actual Discord source code. With all its bugs
