I don’t get why we are always running after our abusers, we have so many FOSS alternatives to this shit. And please don’t hit me with that “discord has more users” bullshit. I’m so sick of these fuckers abusing their powers.
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.
Anyone arguing “Discord has more users” on here can just be reminded that Reddit / Twitter has more users than their fediverse alternatives, and yet here they are on Lemmy, and probably Mastodon too.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
