Thanks for raising awareness of FOSS Discord alternatives. Revolt certainly is the best looking of all of them.
Last time I looked into this, Revolt's voice and video chat was "unsupported" for self-hosting while they were working on a complete rewrite. Is this still the case?
The other big FOSS Discord alternative is Synapse-Matrix with the Element X client, but no clue how far along voice and video is over there either.
Then there's Mattermost, which is more work-oriented and has voice and screen share, but no video calls.
I should host some of this stuff to try it out.
I don't know why people keep comparing Discord and Matrix. They're nothing alike. And the Element X app doesn't even support "spaces".
Thanks for the clarification! I should try stuff more, and read less landing pages
