<![CDATA[Stoat (Previously Revolt )- open source and privacy-friendly Discord alternative]]>EDIT: Revolt was obliged to change the name of its project. The title of the post has been updated accordingly. Good news - there was a recent effort on better support for voice coms.

Maybe @timconsidine will have a glance

Lots of eyes on them with recent discord news. They are talking about a subscription service for video. Not sure if that will apply to self hosted.

Revolt can be deployed using Docker: https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted

There is a web application and Revolt also runs on Android and iOS.

0.8.0 is the current version of Revolt. There has been loads of work improving it since this was first requested.

https://github.com/revoltchat/backend/releases/tag/20241128-2
Here is the Revolt roadmap: https://github.com/orgs/revoltchat/projects/6/views/4

Lets get Revolt on Cloudron!

I think this one is needed to get it running with docker-compose
https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted
That pulls images from
https://github.com/revoltchat/revite

It seem all a bit confusing/ in flux at the moment because https://github.com/revoltchat/revite says "This project is deprecated" whereas https://github.com/revoltchat still has this table which says its recommends for use

804a88fb-804b-4e65-8d5a-e4b832cc4e60-image.png

But above that has a note saying:

revoltchat/frontend is the next-generation Revolt client, more details here

So looks like going forward https://github.com/revoltchat/frontend will be the frontend to use, but presumably the self-hosting docker still pulls from revite.

(https://www.techspot.com/news/102455-discord-looks-boost-gaming-revenue-ditching-long-time.html)
It might be a even more interesting addition now.

They seem to not have true desktop apps yet, so cannot support global push-to-talk keys... Sadly, it's a must have IMO.

Looks like they do have desktops apps for all platforms these days 🙂

Might be a nifty challenge for @Kubernetes

I wish we had Mumble itself on here.

Jam would be great to have too.

IN the meantime, if you've not tried yet, we've found Nextcloud Talk very reliable in daily use.

Mumble made the best voice codec ever. I am using Rocketchat but it would be so cool to have a voice channel chatroom like revoltchat, love to see this on cloudron for use self-hosted Users 😉

Never mind - it does seem to be separate from discord.

Well, it's nearly a 1:1 clone of discord, and so it has a massive potential for streamers and their communities to be used. Discord has taken the voice chat market by storm, but now and there more and more stories get published that they log EVERYTHING.

Especially if - for example THIS GUY (

) would pick up a story about revolt on cloudron, make sure your gates will get stormed 😄

It is a very nice UI, although credit to Discord for their original design. It is very fast too, perhaps the fastest chat UX I've seen too. Reaction emojis seem to be a missing feature but maybe that's intentional.

Honestly, I can see the value in having it packaged as a Cloudron app because the type of people using these communities have the numbers and attitude to broadcast their praise and viral referrals to anything, so maybe Revolt on Cloudron would gain a lot of referrals for Cloudron.

Between the Discord and Slack communities, the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for Revolt is huge. Element is OK. Rocket Chat we know the issues with that. Nextcloud Talk does the job. But from my experience with chat apps, since Atlassian's HipChat, I can see the distinction and USP of Revolt. So still a 👍 from me on this.

How is it fundamentally different from element/matrix or rocket.chat ? I guess the UI?
