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

I self host revolt and mattermost, my issue with revolt is the apps only support connecting to the central instance right now.

My issue with mattermost is it's like slack where you can't have fine grained permissions.

Matrix/Element (or whatever app you like), whilst not a direct alternative to Discord is very close to it. And the fact its E2EE and decentralised makes the minor differences much more palatable. Revolt have been promising E2EE for years and yes I can see its on their roadmap but at this point I doubt it'll be here in the next year or two, if ever.

Then why not just use Mumble/murmur?

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 0 points 2 days ago

Mumble is great, but not really an actual alternative to Discord imho.

Have you used it? How is the experience nowadays?

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

Have an account. It's pretty much just discord, all the good stuff and more. If i had to pick between it and discord, i know what i'm picking.

I wish they had E2EE, though (and federation, but i'm talking about in comparison to discord)

It's almost a 1:1 Discord clone and has apps for iOS, Android, Linux and web.

iOS is in a rough alpha right now, it’s better to use web page as PWA but it’s still quite clunky and choppy in places.

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

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Last I checked, https://spacebar.chat/ seemed more interesting because it's decentralized.

Afaik Revolt still has central servers.

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Looks dead? And why would they link to a Discord server on their homepage? 😂

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It's supposed to be both a Discord client and Spacebar client.

This would allow people to easily switch over.

I'm mostly interested in it as it would allow personal servers again like Teamspeak, Mumble, etc.

Discord for public or private use?

For private use, signal works fine enough for things like gaming with friends where you all know each other personally.
