  To create an invite you:

  # drop into mongo shell
  docker compose exec database mongosh
  
  # create the invite
  use revolt
  db.invites.insertOne({ _id: "enter_an_invite_code_here" })
  

  That’s pretty jank.

  Also - I’m getting pretty fed-up with self-hosting documentation that assumes very specific environments and goes into detailed configuration for that environment. Don’t tell me how to setup a server and how to enable/configure SSH and setup UFW as part of setting up your software. Just tell me how to setup your software and what ports it uses.

    True on the invite, but you know I bet it wouldn’t take much to fix that code wise.

    Having built a bit of software in multiple enviorns, I feel you on the very specific requirements… But it is a bitch to write something that works for all of them. It should be a damn site easier to install it though, especially if it’s docker.

  Wait, requiring a face scan of everyone?? I know they started doing that as an age verification thing for some people, but everyone?

    Your correction is accurate. I should have been more specific.

    Discord announced on Monday that it’s rolling out age verification on its platform globally starting next month, when it will automatically set all users’ accounts to a “teen-appropriate” experience unless they demonstrate that they’re adults.

    Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive. They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox.

      Less a correction, more a question. Yeah. Solid chance I’m dropping the few discord-related things I do use here soon.

      That doesn’t sound like it is necessary for private chat, the only thing I really use it for. Would be nice to have an alternative all the same

        It does lead to slippery slopes. First, it’s to block “adult content”.

        Then, they’ll consider certain topics “adult”. News about current events? LGBT content? Video games with some violence in it?

        Facebook is an example of this slippery slope. And for parts of the country, they do need to scan an ID.

  Bummer that it doesn’t have voice chat yet in the self hosted version. Hopefully soon - I would probably switch if they had that.
