They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

Just tried it… it says “Running in Chrome”. Seems to be a repackaged webapp.
well that’s no different than Discord already, so net zero change
running webapps in chrome or Electron containers simplifies a lot of development, i don’t like their resource requirements or dependency on Chromium, but I do understand needing to streamline development so devs can work on more important backend stuff.
The difference is:
The “works offline” is not much of a bonus for a chat app, but you can access cached chats on Discord, while Revolt… just doesn’t run.
There seem to be other clients for it, though. Haven’t checked those out.
