Revolt is fairly young in comparison to Matrix. A lot of features including E2EE will be implemented in the future. Also, Revolt actually does have bridges and an ecosystem of WIP third-party clients as well.

Matrix’s Code of Conduct says that they will not act on CoC violations that they find ideologically congenial. That’s a blank check for harassment, and it applies to every forum which might be used for technical coordination around Matrix.

supports bridges
Does that mean I can use a Matrix client and transparently joking a Discord server and speak with my friends?

Thanks, I’ll look into that then
I have an account there for a long time now, and I really like it
I’ve gotta say - I’ve been a drone for the past few years. In the past I’ve been really switched on for new privacy tech and ways to build my own network of my own data, but then in 2018 there was an accessibility explosion and for some reason I just stopped.
So to be getting back into the game as a result of Reddits’ collapse and to see places like kbin/lemmy/mastodon thriving, then to see that Discord has a more decentralised competitor in matrix.org technologies and all of the clients being spawned off it. It… it just makes me feel good to be here again. Thanks for waiting for me.

Is this decentralised tho? Because that’s the only thing that matters, as long as it’s server based they can become like Reddit. I am not returning to centralised medias and messengers lol
Revolt is not fedi. You can host your own server but you’ll need a seperate build of their client to communicate to that server and seperate accounts

Of all the platforms in the middle of all these drama, I hate discord the most and I hope they burn
I’m honestly surprised how quickly discord has gone to shit vs. how long everyone I know was using stuff like Skype and TS beforehand.
I also hate how people try to use discord as a replacement for more traditional forums (including stuff like Reddit and kbin) instead of as just a chat and messaging platform. It sucks at it, please stop trying to make it work for that people.
This is my biggest complaint as well, Discord is TERRIBLE for searching for informational posts and replies. Yet people constantly try and use it for that. Every time I see a “visit our discord!” When I’m just wanting to search a forum, I groan and just close the site. I cannot wait for Discord to die off.
I despise subreddits who say “we are moving to discord”. The two platforms are nothing alike and never will be
Benefits over discord? I use discord to video chat with my out of town buddies. That’s about it. What are some reasons I should switch? This isn’t a loaded question btw, I’ve been a fan of FOSS and a free and open internet since I was a kid in the 90s. Grew up on anarchist punk and all. I’m just asking because I gotta convince the suits it’s better.
