I tried it and it’s promising because the call quality is very good compared to Mumble, and push notifications means low battery usage.
It’s OPUS Codec (same used by Discord), and with very low latency, when they will add the Matrix bridge and e2ee (as stated in the roadmap), i think it will become a very good free as in freedom tool everyone can self-host!
Of course XMPP is a better protocol and every new messenger feels like reinventing the wheel, but at the moment all clients UI feels dated, and even worse, the good old IRC lack support for mobile internet reconnections, so everyone ends up using Telegram or Discord at the moment.
In conclusion I think Revolt has good potential, and it could even become a good alternative to all the above, eventually.
You must have mis-configured your Mumble client. Mumble usually also uses the OPUS codec and voice quality is superior to Discord by far in most cases due to better noise cancellation and microphone calibration.
Edit: IRC does not lack support for mobile connections. It is just that the most popular IRC networks use terribly outdated IRC servers forcing everyone to use bouncers that in turn again do support mobile networks just fine. However a modern IRC server does it even without a bouncer.
I swear with Mumble I had issues with echo and feedback noise, both on PC with v.1.3.4 and also on Android (with Mumla). I tried it on various devices and i wasn’t happy with the result, but maybe that’s just my experience.
But i also have to say that v.1.4.0beta has risoved all issues and has a very good quality.
Can you tell me one of those new IRC servers that do not disconnect when changing IP using mobile conntection? I’d love to try one just out of curiosity (at the moment i’m using matrix bride on Libera)
