Official statement:
Short Answer
We don’t think federation is beneficial to Revolt and would actively hinder our stance on privacy. In short, federation is prone to leaking your metadata, could make removing your data harder, and we otherwise have no incentive to develop support if it we aren’t able to use it for the main platform (revolt.chat).
In terms of technical reasons:
- We don’t have the manpower or resources to implement federation into our protocol.
- It would be difficult to adopt our protocol to work with federation.

It’s 100% a good thing but only when it’s paired with history of changes
But there NEEDS to be a feature to check title history because it could be abused
Hmm, seems like you can do it now?
