How does this compare to Revolt?
Revolt is kinda “centralized”. You can host your own version, but they seem to actively discourage you from doing so.
Very bad. Spacebar is nowhere as functional as Revolt.
Can you explain your opinion of the differences? A friend and I are interested in learning more about Discord alternatives that we can get our less tech-savvy friends to switch to.
Revolt offers voice chat and this doesn’t.
Does it work now? I tried it around a year ago and couldn't get voice to work at all. It even had a message saying they were in the process of rewriting their voice streaming backend, and the legacy path may just be broken.
When I tried it seemed to work but I was by myself so not a very good test. Screen sharing was not working tho and their approach to self hosting (don’t do it or use our 200 docker containers) turned me off.
