      Revolt is kinda “centralized”. You can host your own version, but they seem to actively discourage you from doing so.

        Can you explain your opinion of the differences? A friend and I are interested in learning more about Discord alternatives that we can get our less tech-savvy friends to switch to.

            Does it work now? I tried it around a year ago and couldn’t get voice to work at all. It even had a message saying they were in the process of rewriting their voice streaming backend, and the legacy path may just be broken.

              When I tried it seemed to work but I was by myself so not a very good test. Screen sharing was not working tho and their approach to self hosting (don’t do it or use our 200 docker containers) turned me off.
