  It’s not meant to be selfhosted.

  github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted

  it’s not federated

  I’ll agree on that one.

  The developer seems very shady

  Why?

    I’m just doing a bit of research (I’m also not the guy you were replying to :p), but I found the developer is really just one person seemingly (the only registered person I could find for the company representing Revolt [based in the UK]) and that is Pawel Makles. He’s also listed as the data controller of all of your data revolt.chat/legal/privacy

    My concern at first glance is this guy is only 21 years old (born 2003). I don’t think the dev seems too shady from this quick look, but being only 21 with a bunch of private data doesn’t seem too stable imo.

    Apparently they changed their policy on self-hosting. Last I checked they explicitly said that you can self-host (with a very complicated incomplete documentation) but it’s not intended to be self-hosted. He also said various other things that caught my attention but I don’t remember the details.

    I’ll look at this more closely and see whether their policies have changed.
