edit- shit, it was rocket.chat, i'm so sorry.

Ignore the below, it is for a different "FOSS" discord replacement.

i did self-host it for a week to test it out - and honestly i was put off immediately.

What happens when you set it up according to the docs, is that it automatically "registers" for a license - the free license being limited to 5 users, even if you self host. Ridiculous, and just right out the gate shows me that whoever makes this does not have the user's best interest in mind.

the UI is also full of stuff that requires an expensive license, and i did not see an easy way to remove that stuff when self hosting.

License? Isn't revolt open-source, so you could have as many users as your server can handle? https://github.com/revoltchat/backend uses the AGPL, I assume whatever other things a revolt server requires have similar licenses.

I read the FAQ, searched google and the documentation and could not find a single ting about any license.

What are you talking about. Revolt is a donation funded FOSS project

A benevolent assumption would be that GP tries out a lot of stuff (according to their other comments) and therefore mixed something up, unwittingly spreading FUD about Revolt
