Comment on Revolt became Stoat

But they got a major early investment in 2018 from Status, a cryptocurrency/web3 company, and later in 2021 an even bigger one in relation to Protocol Labs, who peddle their own cryptocurrency.
But persnally I would not recommend Stout either as it is not a serious project nor does it federate. Maybe look into XMPP or DeltaChat.

Thank you for the info. I looked at people discussing Matrix for ages here and nobody brought this up? What the hell?

Well, this is kind of work in progress for XMPP and DeltaChat doesn’t support it. But you can for example try out movim.eu which is a webbased xmpp client (with PWA app) which does support screensharing in small group calls.
Matrix stans mentally block out the many issues it has, so take everything they say with a grain of salt 😅

This Movim thing is giving me really good vibes! No AI in sight, nor crypto shit. Thanks so much for the suggestion! Why don’t I hear anyone talking about it? If you have any other smaller open source projects to suggest, please let me know lol

Xmpp has no marketing budget and a lot of people just decided it is old and always share bad experiences with it from 15 years ago 🤷
