I’m personally crossing my fingers for Discord.

      Oh BTW, the Cinny web client for Matrix does a very good job replicating the general layout of Discord without being an outright clone. There’s even a feature to “Categorize Subspaces” that lets you precisely replicate the server/category/channel structure of Discord using Matrix spaces.

      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 ^^

        They are already shitting on their users, recently they disabled permanent invite links for non-comminuty servers, if you want to get permanent invite links, you need to make your server a community, which I think it will make it public (not sure). In the other hand, Discord is still a giant cesspool of malware.

          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.

            I think I’ve only seen it used to give a suprise cheap gift in an active chat to send people crazy

              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.

      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.

        Revolt is really amazing, the only thing that it’s missing (for now) it’s E2EE, the team is working on implementing it as far as I know.

          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.
