Here's a big change. Long Live Stoat! - Stoat
stoat.chat
After four years of building Revolt, we're rebranding to Stoat to better reflect our mission and community.

Stoat (formerly known as Revolt) is a selfhostable, FOSS replacement for discord [Group chats and voice channels you can join any time].

Cool new name, however not as easy to use in other languages.

Voice chat is stil not officialy implemented.

Self-hosting there. Apparently nothing to do for you if you had already hosted before the name change.

The Android app has unfortunately disappeared (not been updated) on F-droid.

Edit: added short description for clarification

    what’s really federation on a system that isolates conversations per server? can you reply to a message from one server on another? maybe the main thing would be single account, because even friend lists from multiple accounts could be merged

      what’s really federation on a system that isolates conversations per server?

      That’s like asking why Lemmy needs federation if posts are tied to a Community.

      No federation means:

      • Every server requires a different user account to join a room
      • Every server needs to be accessed from a different URL
      • Users in different servers cannot direct message, call, or friendlist one another

      Federated platforms aren’t perfect, but they solve these problems.
