    Just learned about Revolt.chat. It looks to have great potential. It’s basically a Discord clone.

      Revolt is promising in that it’s trying to be a direct Discord clone, but it’s also being made by one person as a passion project, and it sounds like it’s their first time doing a project of this size. Last time I checked, encryption was not even implemented in it yet.

      Matrix is distinctly different from Discord, but it’s certainly more mature and featurefull as well.

      Personally I don’t trust it. Don’t really have any reason not to but it just feels eh to me. Just use matrix

        I guess if you like matrix thats cool, but I did just do a quick google and it looks like their clients and server backend are all open source (AGPL-3) and self-hostable so I wouldn’t say there’s much to distrust.

        Matrix is great at what it does, but it’s not a replacement for Discord imho.
