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.
- internetter 2y agoWhat are you talking about. Revolt is a donation funded FOSS project
- like_any_other 2y agoLicense? 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.

- genewitch 2y agoRocket wasn't that way when we used it, but it turned into a snap or flatpak or something, and as me, I won't maintain opaque software. Matrix does everything we need, to where the group on matrix and the people I talk to on discord are a two separate circle Venn diagram. Matrix also lets you inline files, do threads (y tho), voice chat, video chat. I don't know if it does conference calls or screen sharing as we don't use that. I had to sign everyone up in my family. Because "change the server to 'matrix.whatever.com'" is impossible for nearly everyone. Discord? Click a link you're in. I don't like discord that much - I don't have it installed on my cellphone with a SIM.
- Mashimo 2y agoI read the FAQ, searched google and the documentation and could not find a single ting about any license.
