It’s definitely not bad, it has some features discord is still missing. But if you looking for an alternative it’s for sure the thing to check out! Also it is opensource which is quite neat! https://github.com/orgs/revoltchat/repositories

Is it self-hostable? That’s the thing I’m missing from the Mumble / Teamspeak days.

Yeah, you can check it out over here: https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted Keep in mind tho, there is no federation going on to other instances of revolt.

Tried it for a bit… It’s just not there yet. And in the end I wanted something I could self host like in the old days of Mumble and Teamspeak.

Went with a private matrix and element instance.

Have you been able to get screensharing with audio to work on Element? I haven’t been able to determine if it’s in Element Desktop or not. My understanding is that it has worked on some browsers, but I’m not sure about the electron app.

I haven’t used it. I’m following a couple relevant threads on github and it seems to be an in-progress issue that nonetheless is intended to be a fully implemented feature.

Looks open source from their about page, seems interesting enough to me

First time I’ve heard of it. Just seems like a Discord clone, and there’s no real reason not to use discord to chat
