Next in the list of common recommendations is Revolt.
Revolt is a pretty young, centralized platform initially started as a hobby project by Insert sometime in (I believe) 2020 to see if they could build a clone of Discord. Pretty simple goals.
Over time it grew, insert had a couple more friends join for moderation and development, and now there is a small team working on it in their free time—including an Android app and soon an iOS app
This post is part of a series of posts about viable alternatives to discord. You can check the #discordAlternatives tag above for all blogposts in this series.
Matrix is, nowadays, one of the most recommended “Discord Alternatives”, especially if your audience resides on the Fediverse where one half will absolutely hate it, and the other much louder half will be those that believe in Matrix for one reason or another.
So, in my infinite quest of hopping between friends with little funds, I have learned to cherish the shitty devices that I have and make the best of them
This also means I've learned a trick or two about optimizing the resource usage of my laptop to make it...well, usable.
Fedi, in the past few years, has gained quite a bit of traction; In just a few years it has grown from what seems like nothing to spanning over 13 million users, many of which call this their home
However, all of these projects in the field generally have stuck to one goal, which I feel is short-sighted – even as someone that helps with a tumblr copycat – everyone just kinda goes for “Open-Source/Federated alternative to [Social Media Site]”
I am trying out this WriteFreely instance. Primarily because I could not find a better one but the domain kinda sounds like waf at the end and @[email protected] posted on it before so surely it'll be fine
Anyways, blogposts will probably go here from now on, mirrored to a git repo when I get around to it
