Revolut is a different thing

Sometimes a public utility doesn't need to be decentralized to function effectively

  • Doesn't track you like discord does to remain "free"
  • You audit the code for security and privacy issues
  • You can self-host or fork the code for yourself if you ever need to build a backup because some idiot decided to purchase the original revolt project and decided to screw with it
  • It has an open source license so the software can never be privatized, it's essentially a public utility; for everyone by everyone

Our Story:

The Revolt project originally started back in 2019 by a group of three students from the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic, looking for an alternative to the already emerging, closed-source chat platforms. Our main focus for the project was to create an open-source, completely compromise-free platform that offered all of the same features and competed against other chat apps

  • Revolt is made with collaborative effort, and if you like coding it makes it so if you can to try and code stuff to add custom functionality or plugins or whatever else. Like a public utility you can add to it and develop it communally, though in this case it would be a public utility serving a public with a population of just you. But because of the GPL license Revolt uses, it makes it so that you need to share your changes. Whatever form the source code takes, it remains a public utility until perpetuity.

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

The survey is framed to differentiate between standard android compared to custom ROMs

I'm helping my older neighbor deal with tons of spam email that she's getting. For dealing with spam I thought about using thunderbird with with some extensions and making comprehensive filters. To reduce the volume in the future I thought about using deleteme and simplelogin so that her information doesn't continue to be spread.

Anyone have thoughts on the approach or maybe improvements that could be better?

If it had an ECG function I would buy 10 of them
