New page

[[Discord]] comes with the same baggage as any centralized proprietary software service. Consequently, a number of projects have arisen specifically for the purpose of providing open-source alternatives.

* [[Revolt]] is quite usable. As of 2022-09-04 it lacks reactji (reaction emoji) and threading, but it does have more complete markup support. While technically self-hostable, however, the available clients are not configurable to use any host except the default.
** '''2021-12-29''' [https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/rrjkbq/has_anyone_deployed_revoltchat_to_replace_discord/ has anyone deployed revolt.chat to replace discord?]
* [[Fosscord]] is more explicitly self-hostable but somehow ties in to Discord's user database. It's not clear if it can be used independently of that. It's also not clear whether there are any client apps.
