So far I really like it, anyone else using it? I’m really considering setting up the discord bridge and just using revolt

It’s not decentralized and e2ee is not implemented.
+1 for this
Matrix https://matrix.org is a decentralized alternative
there’s a wrapper for matrix Rocket Chat (a wrapper of matrix) https://www.rocket.chat/
Matrix only partially has e2ee and its e2ee is time based and breaks under high latency
Sometimes a public utility doesn’t need to be decentralized to function effectively
It helps, but also the lack of e2ee is a pretty hard sell…
then let me introduce you to IRC
Then Mastodon are not for you either. Nothing is stored encrypted there.
Mastodon is not a real time chat
Nope, it’s not. But Revolt and Mastodon share the same gimmic: no encryption. Why (as far as I know)? You can install these 2 on your own server, making you own your data and also handling the data. E2EE will not be important in that case (according to me). However, encryption (not E2EE) are important in any service.
Revolt and Mastodon aren’t even in the same ball park.
Nope, I know :) I just stated the encryption likeness between those 2. If the user don’t like and refuse to use Revolt because it’s not E2EE by default, then the user would have the same oppinion towards Mastodon. That’s all. Nothing more.
It’s entirely different scenarios for use, though. For lack of a better term,
Generally, it only makes sense to want E2EE only for private-facing conversations, which happen a great deal on apps like Discord than on Mastodon .
Also just to clarify, we do think e2ee for direct messages on Mastodon would be awesome. Maybe unlisted posts, but I’m not sure how that’d work. Still, like they said, Mastodon is a public-first platform.
