You know, revolt exists. Matrix is good but it isn't the same experience as discord. Revolt is a pretty good open source copy of discord.
In what way?
I don't see any animations at all unless someone has posted a gif. Channels are a core feature, as on many similar platforms.
If it's continually giving you issues with devices and authentication, it's probably due to a misconfiguration in your browser, e.g. you have it set to clear cookies on exit, or you have device access permission blocked.
Matrix's protocol with revolt's UI is what we need
And Signal's SMS feature. I'd love to gradually move my contacts over to something else, and being able to convince one at a time to switch their SMS client would make that so much easier.
I used to run a Revolt server 3 years ago. The sound quality was beyond any other WebRTC service I had tried, but it was still in an early and it was lacking a lot of features. So, I switched to Element and Jitsi.
I see people posting that self hosting revolt is challenging but possible. Shit this might replace matrix
