Is Revolt federated?

What's the best alternative? Jami seems good and I generally trust the FSF and I found Revolt which seems to basically aim to recreate all Discord features and is currently in public beta.

I'm actually not sure, nor can I see what encryption they use on the website. Maybe someone smarter than me can check out the code

Revolt currently does not have encryption but there’s an open issue https://github.com/revoltchat/revolt/issues/207

That's one thing I don't like about Revolt. There's no information about it either on their homepage or github

I’ve also heard about Fosscord, but it doesn’t seem like it’s at it’s first release yet

Fosscord aims to be compatible with Discord which is why I think it has an edge over Revolt. It will be possible use Fosscord client as a free alternative to the proprietary Discord client while in the process of switching over to a self-hosted instance.
