Revolt.chat VS Redact.dev

The beginning of enshitification of discord (while 100% expected) for some reason hits harder then any other service I've used throughout all these years. It has entirely replaced social media for me. It just felt more organic to me then anything else. So... Since I've heard about the ads coming to discord, and I have looked into alternatives. They do exist, in varying quality, and there are programs for some of... - Source: Hacker News / about 18 hours ago

Good time to remind everyone that an open source E2EE decentralized alternative exists for Discord in the form of https://revolt.chat/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Yeah I've been using them for my indie conferences since 2020. I recently argued [0] that it's not the Year for Matrix, even if Discord now has ads and is doing sketchy stuff typical of enshitification. Unfortunately, I don't see their priorities going towards UX. I'm dropping them. Revolt has promise [1], at the very least as a stopgap.

I haven't looked in to or tried it let due to still having his migraine and nausea the new UI gave me this morning, but just ran across Revolt in another post. Source: 5 months ago

We are working on a fully local version of this @ https://redact.dev - Beta should be out within a month or so. Huge (obvious) advantages for doing it locally. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

You can trust them only as much as you think they have self interest in not being sued for doing something nefarious. That said, they could very easily have a data breach and every customers full 'dox' would then be out in the wild. Were not talking about ordinary payment details either, just full on dox - every address you have lived at, your license scan, your names, phone numbers, its crazy. I made a post lower... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Some things to note, unless the bill was modified from the version I read: This doesnt apply to any information which is public record as a matter-of-fact. So if you voted, your address and name is public record and can be used and displayed by these sites. If you got a DUI, your mugshot and arrest record may be public record and can be displayed. If you got into a custody battle and your court case was public,... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Is this a whitelabeled version of saymine? Seems like the same type of service. For what its worth, I think you need to go much farther than this. Saying "delete my account" does not do what you think it does for the vast majority of services. For instaince, take reddit or discord. When you 'delete your account' it does not actually delete your data. It just removes your email and changes your account handle to... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

A huge part of what we are building at https://redact.dev is a unified software suite for managing all data. To date, that has mostly been data you create yourself ( tweets, fb posts, discord DM's, emails, etc.. ) but the bigger challenge is creating a simple UI that allows people to manage all this data about you thats floating out there. Its not just data broker removals- Its alexa recordings, youtube search... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
