I think Discord is still too new and still in the phase where they’re baiting users on their platform with superious UX and “verything is easy”. They haven’t yet started shitting on their users. But who knows ^^
Also just the blatant push for introducing more and more nitro-only feature bloat into the average users UI. I haven’t ever seen the gift button being used, but it’s still right there on the text bar, where it serves no purpose.
Nice, was just looking for something! Will have to try it out. Discord on Linux barely works. And when I stream gameplay to friends, sound doesn’t work out of the box, so I have to use pipewire to combine it with my mic’s stream.
It’s not quite clear to me how hosting works. If I want to set up whatever the analog to a “discord server” is for me and my friends, do I need to host it myself? Or can I join an existing instance and then create “servers” on there? Or since it’s using matrix, do I join a matrix instance and this is just a front end for matrix that works like discord? misread your original post.
I feel like the support page on their site is pretty sparse at the moment.

that actually sounds a little fun. I’ll admit that I’ve mostly used discord for the smaller communities

They’ve already made a few missteps that have driven some folks away, as well.Things like the NFT scare a while back, and the price jump on Nitro.
Discord tried doing NFTs?
They never actually got anywhere with it, but there was talk of involving them somehow.
Revolt is not and will never be federated.

As far as I’m aware, their official app will not let you point to a server, it’s hard coded to the main server.
If they ever fix that it might be worth someone running a community server.

Not going to lie, I was hoping that they had fixed that by now.
How’s revolt?
