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/

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

Then Mastodon are not for you either. Nothing is stored encrypted there.

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.

Most important to me: Which of them is easier to self-host?

I’ve been running a Mumble server for my friends for over a decade now and I’d like… something more without having to get too technical. Mumble is literally just a single apt-get and you’re basically done, so that’s about the level of technical expertise that I bring to the table. I’ve tentatively looked into other solutions over the years but I always feel my attention drifting when the setup-tutorial covers multiple pages and starts with manually configuring some database or certificate authority or whatever. Sorry, I didn’t mean for this to get too ranty.

Revolt was okay when I briefly used it, however I don’t like the developers

What communities are there on Revolt? Anything big? Like GrapheneOS, Linux Mint, Signal, Monero?

I know that Matrix has their communities.
