It's also made to be decentralized. Seems voice chat works already. Screenshare and video chat don't seem to be released yet, but I was told that if you host your own instance, you can turn them on (vidchat and screenshare are probably still in beta/are experimental features I assume). UI layout is comparable to Discord.

Me and a friend are considering installing an instance on the server our peertube instance is installed on.

I just installed revolt and gave it a try. It seems like a much more promising discord alternative than matrix which I also just tried over the weekend.

Now the hard part is getting all the communities I use discord for to move over. Maybe after the IPO and next wave of enshitification the migration will really get rolling.

Revolt or Stoat? Because Revolt is the old project and doesn't have voice chat implemented.
