@jonah I'm not familiar with Riot. From the screenshots I see, it looks similar to Discord. Is that accurate?

@pkntl yeah, it's kind of like a decentralized, federated Discord. It works somewhat similar to Mastodon except for Instant Messaging instead of standard social media posts. But it has some cool features like End-to-End Encrypted Chats as well.

I wouldn't say it's on the same feature level as Discord (yet) but it being self-hostable and federated makes it a better solution for us.

@jonah Self-hostable is a huge plus. Does federated mean that I can host my own server and be able to communicate with users on other servers?
