The memes not wrong, but what other option do they have that’s not going to get instantly attacked? They need a way to coordinate.
It could be on matrix, a federated communications protocol. It works like every other proprietary comms platform and supports very strong encryption
And susceptible to the exact DDOS attacks they are under now. Even moving to a web service with DDOS protection has only done so much.
Too many people are taking offense to what they’ve done.
wdym? you can just use the default matrix.org homeserver
Discord is also susceptible to DOS attacks. Every single website and service is susceptible to a DOS attack, even with DNS services like cloud flare.
I wonder why the post is locked? 😅
revolt.chat exists; it’s an open-source discord clone.
Why this instead of matrix, which is already federated?
just use a matrix server
But is it federated?
Not yet, it might be in the future. https://developers.revolt.chat/faq/federation
Never trust “might be in the future” things. You don’t start using something because of features that are planned, you take what actually can do the job.
Once again my choice of instance is validated.
History will validate my choice.
