Do you think that the fediverse has something to gain with the enshitfication of discord? Are there voice chat programs in the fediverse that can benefit from it?

If anybody wants to build a federated Discord alternative, my suggestions:
Fork Revolt
Implement AP federation and encryption from Sup server and client
Revolt is so promising, except it’s not federated. I tried spinning it up today and then realized it’s local only…
Which then even on their main page they have a pleading asking us to not host instances because the base will become fractured. Which, is solved by federation.
They have a page about federation, in which they explain why they haven’t implemented federation yet.
In short: privacy concerns (e.g. metadata leakage), lack of devs / manpower & resources, difficulty adapting Revolts protocol to a federated one.
I like the project. I think it would be the perfect place for Foss Projects and a good replacement for Discord, but it is in dire need of more contributors and ppl, who know how to properly integrate Federation. I’d love to see Revolt succeed.
Currently I am short on time, but I’d love to contribute to them in the future.
