Hopefully Revolt (a Fediverse alternative to Discord) continues to improve and can completely take the place of Discord relatively soon.

Edit: it might only be FOSS, not federated. Still a promising project though.

I don't think Revolt is Fediverse, afaik it's entirely centralized without plans for interop or federation
Please update me if I just didn't find the right reference

[–] underline960@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago

You're correct.

As of right now, Revolt does not feature any federation and it is not in our feature roadmap.

However, this does not necessarily mean federation is off the table, possible avenues are:

Implement our own federation protocol

Implement a promising up and coming federation protocol, polyproto

Implement the Matrix protocol (unlikely, obtuse and unstable)

Implement the XMPP protocol (battle-tested and stable)

Is Revolt federated? I thought it was only FOSS

This has been tried and tried again. The first time I remember seeing this was in the '90's where a "free" dial up ISP was trying this. NetZero maybe? Didn't work then, won't work now. They'll pay out so little it won't be worth it. Don't do it kids!
