Why are FOSS platforms like Matrix having such a hard time getting users to migrate from Discord? Because of PluralKit.

I mean Revolt has the capability for per message profiles, it just doesn't have the ui for it yet

I have no real hope left for Revolt anyway though so meh

why no hope for Revolt? I had looked into it self hosting wise, but when I realized they had made it really difficult, I lost interest and haven't been following it since.

Pretty much this plus a bit more

They're honestly low-key hostile towards anyone trying to host another instance

They're clearly going for profit, they've said it before, and I can only see it going shittier from here because of it
