I don’t think people on this sub use it, but it’s great news for us. The worse it gets the likelier people move on.

    revolt.chat is pretty good. It’s open source as well. The interface is exactly the same as Discord. And best of all, you don’t need nitro to have a gif background or profile picture. Markdown is also supported in the profile description so you can have very fancy descs.

      I didn’t get past the sign in page because I was having too much fun looking at all of the localization options for their website.

      The default is “🇺🇸 English (Simplified)”, but they have “☠️Pirate”, “Toki Pona”, “🥹Bottom”, “😸OwO”, “🪄 Enchantment Table”, and many other funny options.

        the Voice Server Backend is basically done, currently there’s ongoing re-works of the desktop client (limited demo at https://revolt.chat/app IIRC), as well as closed betas for iOS and Android native apps.

        There’s also a slew of Third-Party Clients and an open Client-Server API.

        Just remember that this project is built by people in their free time, not a VC-Backed company.

      I’ll keep an eye on this. I use discord exclusively for gaming purposes, and voice chat is pretty important for that bc I’m still on console mostly for the next year or so (building a pc finally, thanks to a new job). So if they can get that going, I could convince several people to switch once I’m also on PC. Till then discord for my PS5 is about the best I can hope for.
