You're comment makes no sense. Matrix is a federated chat protocol, and works kind of like lemmy. Matrix itself has more in common with ActivityPub, the protocol that the fediverse uses. What's more comparable are the matrix clients.

There are many, many matrix clients to choose from, and even more instances, including the option to set up your own.

Which client? There's a lot more than Element, including clients like Nheko and Cinny.

I have that too, but you have to be admin to be able to do that, and I didn't figure out how to connect the 1-1 chats in Matrix yet.

The Element app for it works pretty well. There are some edges to smooth, but it functions.

How can revolt "remove" a server since you can connect to any custom hosted server? It's like saying lemmy removed an instance.

And besides, I'm pretty sure that is something that federated instances will have to worry about too, you might not care about your local laws but the ISP or hosting provider of your server where possibly illegal data is, will care.

@RosalynKirk

1.) because Revolt isn't trying to do federation. It's community driven open-source project not backed by a company.

2.) you can easily self-host a Revolt server. Then you can make your own rules.

Not everything has to be federated

If this is an isolated issue I don't mind.
