Revolt is an open source alternative to Discord. Revolt was created by a Brit afaik.

No encryption and centralized.

I'd recommend matrix/XMPP instead (based on the context, a server ran in the EU ofc)

Those are not an alternative to Discord though and Revolt can be self-hosted. Also some kind of federation might be a thing.

Maybe not intended to be, but they work fine as one [ime]

Revolt can be self hosted, but i'd still consider it centralized, since when we are talking about "revolt" we are talking about the main instance. I haven't seen another instance sadly

However the devs are working on E2EE, and they [no promises] said they'll think about implementing federation. I'll keep my eyes on it, because if it does i'd definitely be excited for that

I self host revolt and mattermost, my issue with revolt is the apps only support connecting to the central instance right now.

My issue with mattermost is it's like slack where you can't have fine grained permissions.

Then why not just use Mumble/murmur?

[โ€“] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 month ago

Mumble is great, but not really an actual alternative to Discord imho.

Matrix/Element (or whatever app you like), whilst not a direct alternative to Discord is very close to it. And the fact its E2EE and decentralised makes the minor differences much more palatable. Revolt have been promising E2EE for years and yes I can see its on their roadmap but at this point I doubt it'll be here in the next year or two, if ever.

Have you used it? How is the experience nowadays?

[โ€“] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

Have an account. It's pretty much just discord, all the good stuff and more. If i had to pick between it and discord, i know what i'm picking.

I wish they had E2EE, though (and federation, but i'm talking about in comparison to discord)

It's almost a 1:1 Discord clone and has apps for iOS, Android, Linux and web.

[โ€“] misk@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

iOS is in a rough alpha right now, itโ€™s better to use web page as PWA but itโ€™s still quite clunky and choppy in places.

I tried to move my friends server to Revolt but we abandoned it because we could not make a music bot work. That's literally all we use. Is it possible to stream music with a bot?
