Stoat (Previously Revolt )- open source and privacy-friendly Discord alternative

@sir-paradise All good insights and points. 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 wish we had Mumble itself on here.

voice channel chatroom

Jam would be great to have too.

There is a relatively recently updated docker-compose that helps detail out the packaging flow.

Might be a nifty challenge for @Kubernetes

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

Considering that Discord has said goodbye to it's (never true) ad-free policy as well a revolt is currently gaining more traction again.

It might be a even more interesting addition now.

yessss, it would be SUCH an amazing addition

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

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.

Revolt now has over 500,000 users: https://revolt.chat/posts/500K-users

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!

Wow what a major rebrand, we need this indeed, as RC doesn't cut it.

Now that the Discord enshittifications moves on. Maybe time to look into this more.
