If Discord were on GitHub with a GNU licence, Revolt wouldn’t need to spend all this time re-inventing the wheel.

If Revolt enshittifies, the next replacement won’t need to spend time re-inventing the wheel.

Even in the worst case scenario, this is a step in the right direction. And I’m not convinced of your worst case scenario.

I like Revolt better because it’s actually designed to replace Discord. Matrix isn’t designed to be Discord, and that’s a problem, because what I want is FOSS Discord. Matrix doesn’t bring any novel features that make me want it more than FOSS Discord.

I’m not subject to intertia. I could move my friends to an alternative in a week. Tell me which alternative has all those features and I’ll switch.

It’s like when you’re having a conversation on autopilot.

“Mum, can I play with my frisbee?” Sure, honey. “Mum, can I have an ice cream from the fridge?” Sure can. “Mum, can I invade Poland?” Absolutely, whatever you want.
