@theorytoe @alex Revolt is soyfaggotry. It has nothing original about it, it's not even federated. it's made by a bunch of Discord kids who are shit at Rust and just learned the term microservices.

also, the big issue with mattermost and rocketchat isn't the licensing, it's that they fucking suck. Rocketchat used gigabytes of RAM and kept crashing because of mongodb or whatever, unusable. embarrassing quality for a supposedly corporate messaging app.

I honestly don't see the need for federation if you go the IRC way. IRC does it right, more people should use it. it does things best.
