It's not a full replacement for Discord, but it's working towards that. If you just want a basic server for yourself and friends with emotes and voice chats, Revolt works. If you want polls, events, threads, forums, etc., it can't replace your setup. I think the goal is to be a full Discord replacement in the future, but it's still a work in progress (such is often the case with FOSS software maintained by hobbyists).

Nice, thank you for the reply. Do you know if the devs are involved in any drama that might affect the project? Seems like every day we find out about dev drama in alternative projects.

No clue, but you can selfhost it! So even if you don't like the official Revolt instance, you can spin up your own for you and your friends and not worry about it!

No. I tried to use it for 10 minutes and couldn’t figure out how to voice chat. No way it fills in for Disc.
