Great time to plug that https://revolt.chat/ is coming along nicely! The Android app is being reworked and is in rough shape at the moment, but the biggest feature missing from the desktop app (where I figure it matters most) is screen sharing. Otherwise it's an entirely serviceable Discord clone that is FOSS and would benefit greatly from additional support. I, for one, will be taking the money that was paying for my Nitro and donating it to Revolt instead.
Did they fix the self-hosted option? If it works well, I would immediately jump to it.
How is this app supposed to ensure its continued existence? I see no mention of donations, federation, or advertisement
The desktop app has a donation button in the settings. There's also links to their donation pages on their github, but I do think in both instances they should have their donation link more front and center; it's proven to work out well for multiple other FOSS projects.
if revolt puts out a ppa repository they'll already be better than discord
It's not an official packaging, but it is on Flathub, so maybe they have somewhere?
