I use Jitsi for my voip / screen share

I'm waiting for the day we get the Black Mirror technology where the ad stops playing when you look away and doesn't start again until you look back at it, forcing you to watch the entire ad all the way through

How do I bot this so I don't see the ads and get free nitro so ads are removed?

I made a few friends switch earlier this year and for our use case it works

Minding we only need a text chat during the day for shitposts, cat GIFs, and the occasional "Gaming tonight ?" "Fuck yeah" "For the Emperor !"

Then we use it for voice chat during the gaming session

To be honest, I don't think we could have switch if they weren't a bit tech-savvy and willing to struggle a bit with the encryption at first (but now it's setted, it works with no issue)

Works great if you don't want/need PTT.

Mark my words, any free service that hosts images is on the cycle. I saw it happen to Reddit and Imgur

Promising to host everyone's data for free forever is a promise that only a devil at a crossroads can make

And the ad is like my dead mom selling me dick pills

Unfortunately, the official desktop app is essentially unusable.

Fractal is pretty good but less features.

Well they changed CEOs a month ago

oooo yeah video is the one thing i have missing to have more or less feature parity with discord. wonder if theres gonna be like a coturn video type thing anytime soon

Not great. It's missing discord features like screen sharing and voice rooms (only sort of has them through a third party app, Jitsi, but that experience is... not great).

It also has moderation issues, lacking tools needed to keep spam out and easily control it when it does get in.

I recently deleted my account because there was a spam wave sending out room invites to anti-trans named rooms, and there's no way to mass ignore, you have to click on every invite, click 'ignore' and wait like 15-30 seconds for the server to process.

Related to the above it has performance issues, a lot of UI actions wait for the server to respond, so just have a long delay to them making the user experience feel really crummy.

There are also a bunch of different client apps all with their own features, one will support X but not support Y and the other way around for another app, and there's no guide on what app to use so that's confusing.

Overall it feels like alpha or very early beta software, it works if you're willing to deal with a lot of headache.

Does it even have push to mute with a keybind? It feels like their voice/video chat is super feature bare lol

The end is coming

New CEO came from Activision

It's over

Yikes, hope matrix really improves soon.

The bigger servers i am in always have someone "boosting" it.

We've never reached levels of Joever this high and Biden stopped being President in January, so you know its bad.

enshittification is a part of capitalism, but capitalism also has other things going on

I believe there was talk of opening it up to the fediverse but not sure where they landed on it

Edit: From the linked FAQ actually

Does Revolt have federation

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)

Any federation that is implemented MUST exercise caution in:

• Preventing spam and abuse: moderators should be able to block malicious actors
• Protecting user data: users should be able to redact all of their information and messages

Matrix 2.0 is class they just need to get spaces support
