Discord announces plans to expand its successful Video Quests advertising format to mobile devices. This strategic move marks the company’s first mobile ad offering, significantly broadening reach for advertisers while maintaining Discord’s commitment to user-first, reward-focused advertising experiences. The initial pilot for Video Quests on Mobile will launch in June 2025, offering advertisers a prime opportunity to showcase trailers, make impactful announcements, and highlight premium content to Discord’s player community.
Looks like no video calls or screensharing? If so, unfortunately won’t be a viable replacement for me.
Also, looks like there are self hosting options but they seem clumsy? From what I read, and happy to be corrected, a self hosted instance is completely separated from the rest of the Revolt ecosystem, meaning new accounts and everything for each.
I’m also curious how they will upkeep the servers without any kind of monetization.
Also it’s a private company, an Ltd. At least the Matrix Foundation (which already has a viable financial future) is a Community Interest Company (non-profit) and has never had any shares for relevant control. Seems like first thing Revolt did was divvy up shares.
Matrix Foundation founding document as Limited Company, and then updated resolutions describing itself as a Community Interest Company Non-profit.
