They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

The difference is:
The “works offline” is not much of a bonus for a chat app, but you can access cached chats on Discord, while Revolt… just doesn’t run.
There seem to be other clients for it, though. Haven’t checked those out.
In theory PWAs can be configured to run offline, whether they’re doing that I don’t know.
But it looks like they have a downloadable electron app too: https://revolt.chat/download
I know, one of the best PWAs I’ve seen is Draw.io, fully usable offline, with both device and browser storage.
The Revolt’s one however, even though delivered as a PWA, seems to be only the login page. If already logged in, it throws a “Network error.” dialog.
