Anyone using Revolt as a Discord alternative? What has your experience with it been? Do the voice chats work reliably? What about screen sharing? Is it easy to use? What hardware do you host it on? What about moving people over from Discord to Revolt?
I’m considering buying some.more solid self hosting hardware at some point and considering hosting a Revolt server for friends and a community that we’re moderating.
Other software recomendations are also welcome, but keep in mind that voice chats and screen sharing are features that we very often use, so something that’s primarily text-based like matrix won’t work.
I’d also like to hear your thoughts on converting people to non-mainstream software. I’d expect it to not work so smoothly, since discord is such a go-to platform for so many people and most of them follow multiple communities on there. The convenience aspect is a big thing.
Please share whatever thoughts you have on this topic.
Maybe rocket.chat but it’s aimed at business so idk
Be careful of rocketchat : beside some exotic technology choices (meteor), they seem to be in a dynamic of re-closing previously opensource parts of it. Something like that already occured with their ldap implementation (it needed some love, but sadly they give them closed-source love…)
And only support mongoDB, we have a pain dealing with the limitations of their DB setup.
