About Revolt
Revolt swaps Tenor for its own Gifbox, pulling GIF delivery in-house.
Revolt is an open-source, self-hostable chat platform competing in the Discord-alternative space. The one visible release, v0.13.8, replaces Tenor (Google's GIF service) with Gifbox, a GIF platform the project now runs itself. With only a single changelog entry available, the broader release cadence isn't observable from this data.
