Revolt relies on community self hosting last I looked at it, which means it would never be a "mass" solution.
Should Discord ever collapse (something I don't see in the near future), the free alternatives that I see benefitting would be XMPP and Matrix — though there's new contenders that could make name for themselves by then too.
I think on the contrary they are not big on self-hosting nor federation so they have a better chance at becoming a "mass" solution. While you can self-host, it doesn't federate like Matrix and in practice everyone is on the "first-party" instance (revolt.chat).
