Great time to plug that https://revolt.chat/ is coming along nicely! The Android app is being reworked and is in rough shape at the moment, but the biggest feature missing from the desktop app (where I figure it matters most) is screen sharing. Otherwise it's an entirely serviceable Discord clone that is FOSS and would benefit greatly from additional support. I, for one, will be taking the money that was paying for my Nitro and donating it to Revolt instead.

Does it have e2ee messages (even in group chats) and calling? One reason we never used discord is because it lacked that (except in calling towards the end).

Edit: Seems they are "working on it", which makes us a bit nervous but hopefully it'll be implemented everywhere: https://github.com/orgs/revoltchat/discussions/597

No, it should be treated as what it is: a public forum. The only app I would trust to keep my messages truly private is Signal.

Also we disagree as not all groups on even discord are public since many require invites or accepting requests to join.

Edit: Also, even if they are public I'd rather the server not be able to see my messages even if the users in any given group can. Yes, I know it's a minor difference but I can probably trust the other users, I cannot necessarily trust the server.

I certainly won't say no to additional privacy! But until I see cryptography experts call it secure, I'm going to continue to treat it as a public forum.

Fair enough.
