Revolt: Open-source alternative to Discord written in Rust
I believe it can. The protocol seems pretty thoroughly documented https://developers.revolt.chat/

Revolt: Open Source Discord Like Chat Platform
Great to see innovation, but it doesn't federate. Being open source alone doesn't bring users freedoms when it comes to social networks. Think of Signal for example, which is very locked down. Social networks/apps/etc. have their moat in their userbase, not the code. Not even tik tok with its famous recommendation algorithm. Reddit used to be open source, now isn't. Forks couldn't take off because the users were/are on the main fork. If it doesn't federate, the network being open source right now helps little. It can be closed any day and users can't do anything about it because >90% don't care.

Qilin: A Starter Project Template For Every Open Source Project
GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects.

Launching Default End-to-End Encryption on Messenger
I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance.

Matrix - I currently have my family chat on WhatsApp, but I plan to give my daughters tablets for Xmas and I want them to have a way to chat with family without needing to have a phone number or signup to WhatsApp.
- O mais engraçado desse dado é que na lista tem países que a esquerda considera "social democrata" e nenhum desses países tem 418 estatais 🤡

Discord Is Not Documentation
Telegram isn't great for having a main topic with siloed discussions about sub-categories of things.
Slack costs a lot of money if you want searchable history.
Matrix (https://matrix.org/) is pretty bad when you get to using it. It works, but the QOL isn't up to Discord's level.
Discord is just as easy to replace as any other chat platform if they decide to sell out or destroy their product.
> Telegram isn't great for having an overarching place for everyone to join with siloed discussions for sub-categories of discussion.
Just want to point out that they fixed this, it's possible to create Topics once the channel's community reaches 200 users.
Though this probably isn't what most users want for a support channel. Having one place to go is simpler then a community with a dozen company meme channels that you have no interest in seeing.

It goes to hell if you make the mistake of enabling E2EE for channels since the key exchange bogs it down and only a few clients support encrypted message search. Otherwise, yeah the Element clients have pretty bad UX especially when comparing to Telegram. Some other clients like Nheko improve on it but don't cover the full set of features, so while I'm a user of Matrix I find it hard to continue to recommend Matrix over chat ecosystems with better usability.
