    Revolt also actively discourages you from self hosting because they want to get the network effect going, and you can’t do that if everything is splintered.

    I have yet to find a Discord alternative, and I’ve looked a few times.

      An alternative for me is pretty much useless if it’s not an alternative for my groups. Those I use discord with. It is more likely we migrate to a corporate solution than a foss one.

      There could be a middlegreound if revolt implemented a central openid user registry, presence indication and e2ee direct chat plus self hosted communities using that login (and maybe optional local registration). And maybe a community overview for public communities.
