I know there is revolt as a FOSS alternative to discord but it's not federated.

Looking good. though I'm not looking for self hosted solution.

fediverse but not selfhosted? i'm not sure. that might almost be opposing requirements.

@hendrik @zexu I believe that Rochko (spelling?) foresaw his software being run on many small instances versus several large players. Hence that is why I think scalability wasn't an emphasis at the time. From the little I understand of Ruby is that it doesn't scale very well. I think the idea behind Sidekiq is to mitigate that problem.
