A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm personally crossing my fingers for Discord.

Nice, was just looking for something! Will have to try it out. Discord on Linux barely works. And when I stream gameplay to friends, sound doesn't work out of the box, so I have to use pipewire to combine it with my mic's stream.

Take a look, it even supports bots. And yes I know I use light mode.

It's not quite clear to me how hosting works. If I want to set up whatever the analog to a "discord server" is for me and my friends, do I need to host it myself? Or can I join an existing instance and then create "servers" on there? Or since it's using matrix, do I join a matrix instance and this is just a front end for matrix that works like discord?

I feel like the support page on their site is pretty sparse at the moment.

Revolt is it's own thing, it's not Matrix. You just create an account at https://app.revolt.chat and start using it, just like Discord. With Matrix you can do the same at app.element.io, you don't need to host your own server, even though that is possible.

Ah ok thanks! I'll try it out 👍

For chat servers in Revolt it's literally the same as Discord, just click the add button

Revolt is really amazing, the only thing that it's missing (for now) it's E2EE, the team is working on implementing it as far as I know.
