I mean using matrix or any chat service is giving your data to someone else. What's the distrust with revolt?

Looking at their git repos it seems pretty above board: multiple open source clients by community members, APGL license, docker images and backend repo all pretty accessible in one place.

No hate on Matrix of course, but theres a few people who seem to have the ick for Revolt and I wonder if Ive missed something.

It's not black and white like that. Giving information to two different clients is not equal. Just like signing up with Signal and Facebook is going to be drastically different. That being said, the issue work Revolt is it's not federated and the protocol isn't anywhere near as good as the matrix protocol. It's not bad per se, just not as good.

Fair enough, the federation of platforms like lemmy is a good protection against legal trolls for sure.
