Overview
Revolt is a feature-rich, Discord-like group chat and community platform that can be entirely self-hosted. It offers servers, channels, direct messages, voice channels (via Vortex), roles, permissions, and a modern web and desktop client. The backend is written in Rust for performance, and the frontend in React, both being fully open source under AGPL.
Where it falls short of Discord
- Voice and video require separately deploying the Vortex server
- No official mobile apps for self-hosted instances yet
- Bot ecosystem and community integrations significantly smaller than Discord
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
