Revolt: Open-source user-first chat platform
- smcleod 3y agoWhat’s the opposite of “user-first”?
- nyanpasu64 3y agoShareholder-first.
- smcleod 3y agoSadly that is so much of society these days :(
- zilti 3y agoOh no, for god's sake, not another one of those shovelware chat platforms...
- aprilnya 3y agomy thoughts on revolt: it’s not decentralized so i don’t care every company was cool and user-first before it became evil only way for it to not become evil is for it to be decentralized
- skulk 3y agoThis makes zero sense. The backend and many components are AGPL or GPL licensed. You want ActivityPub, go implement it yourself. The main use case is hosting your own instance for your group of friends/etc, which seems pretty decentralized to me.
- aprilnya 3y agoyeah and this was the case with reddit until they went closed-source and everyone just stayed on the main instance
- DoItToMe81 3y agoWhen I've seen people speak to the devs, they've always seemed very hostile to hosting your own instance of the program. Beyond that, the setup process is one of the worst documented and admin hostile I've seen so far.
