Those are not an alternative to Discord though and Revolt can be self-hosted. Also some kind of federation might be a thing.

I self host revolt and mattermost, my issue with revolt is the apps only support connecting to the central instance right now.
My issue with mattermost is it's like slack where you can't have fine grained permissions.
Then why not just use Mumble/murmur?
Mumble is great, but not really an actual alternative to Discord imho.
Matrix/Element (or whatever app you like), whilst not a direct alternative to Discord is very close to it. And the fact its E2EE and decentralised makes the minor differences much more palatable. Revolt have been promising E2EE for years and yes I can see its on their roadmap but at this point I doubt it'll be here in the next year or two, if ever.
Have you used it? How is the experience nowadays?
It's almost a 1:1 Discord clone and has apps for iOS, Android, Linux and web.
iOS is in a rough alpha right now, it’s better to use web page as PWA but it’s still quite clunky and choppy in places.
Last I checked, https://spacebar.chat/ seemed more interesting because it's decentralized.
Afaik Revolt still has central servers.
Looks dead? And why would they link to a Discord server on their homepage? 😂
It's supposed to be both a Discord client and Spacebar client.
This would allow people to easily switch over.
I'm mostly interested in it as it would allow personal servers again like Teamspeak, Mumble, etc.
Spacebar's pretty cool! Someone on Revolt actually told me about it.
I tried to move my friends server to Revolt but we abandoned it because we could not make a music bot work. That's literally all we use. Is it possible to stream music with a bot?
We use Remix for ours: https://rvlt.gg/Zyhzz8Xy
Thanks, I'll check it out!
