It is an more private alternative to Discord. Even tough they do not offer federation, self-hosting servers is possible, but self-hosting Dms is not possible. Matrix does not have separated voice and text chats in one server, aka Discord style. Is it better to use Revolt for now or create our own Federated Discord alternative?

I like it a lot. I honestly don’t give two shits about federation. The UI is attractive and logical and everything does what I want it to do. I wanted a Discord clone that was open source and doesn’t spy on me. Revolt is just that, and I love it.
How are you ging to get people to usw it though. Hard enough already with federated systems, but why would anyone switch to a mostly empty walled garden?
How did Discord become so popular?
By being first to a market of combing something like Slack and Teamspeak into a easy to use webclient.
