revolt.chat Reviews 7

Stoat (previously known as Revolt) chat is basically an inferior discord clone that claims that "you are the main character" and that it cares about "your privacy" unless you're a "conspiracy theorist" or "spreading hatred" when you actually read their Community Guidelines. It's actually more restrictive than Discord and probably less safe as well due to how long Discord has been around and how it has refined it's security.

Revolt is a disgrace to the FOSS community and I would strongly recommend staying away from Revolt, even if it is open source.

Developers are pedophiles and joke about CP. Your account will get banned for a BS reason if a staff member doesn't like you.

The developers prefer drama over development.

I've seen users get punished when they did not break their AUP (Acceptable Usage Policy) or ToS (Terms of Service). Better than proprietary competitors.

A toxicly leftist and uninclusive userbase (especially if anyone goes against the leftist status quo), arbitrary bans, unethical and immature moderation team, buggy client, incomplete software, no commitment to staying 100% open source, no commitment to judging infractions according to the Acceptable Usage Policy, suspension of accounts justified by logical fallacies and strawmen, hate against religion and religious people, favoritism towards atheistic Satanism, censorship, no freedom of ideological disagreement, and a bad reputation overall. User since April 2022, if that matters; I was so hyped for this project that I ended signing up with my PS4's defunct web browser at that time. It's unfortunate to see such a great project become so "revolting" when the service is still in beta, only having a few tens of thousands of members (whom only a few hundreds are active).

Community who believe having a different opinion equivalates to hate speech.

Terrible platform, Banning people from the entire platform for no good reason. Switching back to Discord.

An alternative to Discord.
Currently its early access only and not completely finished yet but it seems promising.
