So...this one is a bit left-of-field.

A friend of mine (Gardiner Bryant of YouTube - who reports on Linux and the Steam Deck) has started a Revolt server.

What is Revolt?

It's kinda like a FOSS alternative to Discord. You'll see the layout is almost a direct copy, and it's far less polished...but then again you haven't got the downsides of Discord's constant upselling either:

https://revolt.chat/

Why is this relevant?

...I can hear you ask? Well, so far its just a few developers and creators in there, but I thought of all spaces...maybe those very devs and creators whose work you use and watch...well it might be nice to join in there?

My personal friends who are in here so far are:

What is the damn link to the damn server, woman?

I mean, you will have to make an account on Revolt, but it might be interesting to some here. You're all very welcome!

Do you then also proceed to install the client 20 times? Or do you constantly log in and out? Sounds like a hassle that federation would solve!

Or they could just do what discord does and let you log into multiple accounts at the same time. As good as federation is for freedom, it is a privacy nightmare. Anyone who federates with you gets a copy of either everything, or all the metadata depending on what software and server we are talking about. Matrix shares all metadata, Lemmy shares almost everything by necessity.
