Honestly it's just going from one bad app host (discord) to another that could be less bad but still has all your data (revolt). You can host your own revolt server but you won't be able to join any of revolts servers. Matrix is just plain better for privacy and security. I do like to see more alternatives out there tho
The problem with matrix is that the standard isn't standardized. Its constantly changing and the matrix server software is buggy
edit: just to be clear I'm not saying revolt is better
Can you go into more depth about why this is a problem on the server side? On client side, I found a few clients that work well and its been easy breezy since then.
The problem is that synapse is very touchy. I've had issues with broken encryption and messages not going though
