How anyone still trusts that company with literally anything is astounding.

That’s not very “states rights” of them.

I finally switched to full-time Linux last year and I haven’t missed anything. The only stuff that doesn’t work (and doesn’t have a good alternative) are games with invasive anti-cheat that I wanted to boycott anyway.

Kinda wild it was ever closed-source, but credit where it’s due, I guess.

Connect with hot services on your LAN.

Why is this marked NSFW?

Yes, you absolutely could do that. You can run it locally and access it on localhost:8010

Also, even if you have it on a server on the LAN, many people would consider LAN “offline”.

I get why Federation can cause issues (most of the time it’s moderation related), but why would an extra option be a deal-breaker? Federation can always be disabled on a per-domain basis if you prefer. In fact, I’d argue it’s best practice to only allow domains on a case-by-case basis to prevent spam and abuse.

On the converse, you can’t enable Federation on a platform that doesn’t have it.

Yes, which is good, but the lack of federation is a deal-breaker. It means that you either:

1. Use their servers - This requires entrusting them with your communities, just like Discord.
2. Host your own private instance - You can control it, but the lack of federation means it’ll be isolated from communicating with other communities. This makes it really difficult to convince people to use your self-hosted servers.

Until Revolt adds a way for different instances to federate, Matrix is really the only other option.
