Is this still centralized? Or can you self-host without needing a separate client instance for each host?

  8 GB RAM minimum for a non-graphical server software?! This thing must have more components and services than my desktop OS while having a few website open in Firefox and Chromium each

    Synapse, after a reboot and the cache is cold, uses less than that. I don't think our synapse server even has 8GB allocated to it. But that's for private chat, we can't join large rooms because I deployed our server as a test, alongside Mattermost and rocket.chat. I haven't felt compelled to switch to dendrite or whatever, nor split the synapse microservices out, nor install postgres on a dedicated VM, and so on. All of which would make someone else's matrix experience better but my life ^ that much worse.

edit- shit, it was rocket.chat, i'm so sorry. Ignore the below, it is for a different "FOSS" discord replacement. i did self-host it for a week to test it out - and honestly i was put off immediately. What happens when you set it up according to the docs, is that it automatically "registers" for a license - the free license being limited to 5 users, even if you self host. Ridiculous, and just right out the gate shows me that whoever makes this does not have the user's best interest in mind. the UI is also full of stuff that requires an expensive license, and i did not see an easy way to remove that stuff when self hosting.

  What are you talking about. Revolt is a donation funded FOSS project

    A benevolent assumption would be that GP tries out a lot of stuff (according to their other comments) and therefore mixed something up, unwittingly spreading FUD about Revolt

    sorry, i mixed it up with rocket.chat, another "foss" discord replacement.

  License? Isn't revolt open-source, so you could have as many users as your server can handle? https://github.com/revoltchat/backend https://github.com/revoltchat/backend uses the AGPL, I assume whatever other things a revolt server requires have similar licenses.
