Hello. I’m looking for a more private (for obicous reasons) and fast discord client for android, since the app is terrible and preforms terribly on my relatively old phone. I can’t change to something like matrix/signal, since I can’t convert other people.
Not what you’re looking for… I just hope when They will add ads, people will switch to revolt…
But People don’t care, so they don’t give a fuck…
Revolt is very interesting but it’s basically going through a complete rebuild now and it’s not fully featured yet. We all want people to switch to better software but Revolt needs some more time I think (unless you don’t care about absence of native mobile clients and video calls). We don’t want new users immediately getting frustrated and switching back to the big tech garbage
Other platforms with ads haven’t really seen people move off those platforms. I feel like once it reaches that critical mass of being nearly ubiquitous it takes a massive problem to push people off of it. Look at SMS in the US and how it’s refused to die compared to other markets because it has reached saturation and now the only challenge to that ubiquity is iMessage who basically lives off being a fake SMS service.
