Comment on Discord is getting mobile ads
OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 5 weeks agoI like Revolt better because it’s actually designed to replace Discord. Matrix isn’t designed to be Discord, and that’s a problem, because what I want is FOSS Discord. Matrix doesn’t bring any novel features that make me want it more than FOSS Discord.

I do agree that Matrix isn’t a good replacement for Discord, but Revolt is largely centralized, so I have my doubt’s that its a good option either. If users started to switch to it, how would the primary instance handle that level of traffic?

They can’t. Not without enshittification and monetization. But I but that is their goal. They have no interest in federation, not even on the future roadmap. I already know where that project will go and I don’t like it.

If Discord were on GitHub with a GNU licence, Revolt wouldn’t need to spend all this time re-inventing the wheel.
If Revolt enshittifies, the next replacement won’t need to spend time re-inventing the wheel.
Even in the worst case scenario, this is a step in the right direction. And I’m not convinced of your worst case scenario.
