Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

  Absolutely not.

  Stoat (formerly Revolt) is an utter shit-show of alt left and right extremists and the development is dead in the water. They’ve claimed to be working on feature parity with Discord for years now. Not to mention the developers jumping ship and the whole “Stoat” rebrand. Not to mention, their email verification server is just hosted on a homelab setup which has lead to a plethora of users being unable to receive their verification emails, resulting in them requiring a manual approval via emailing in… which guess what… those are also failing to come through!

  Don’t touch Revolt/Stoat. It’s no better.

    I just signed up yesterday, and yeah, it took almost a day to get my verification, but it worked. I haven’t seen any extremism yet, but I’m still new. I’ll look into the development thing.

  I’ve heard (though not personally confirmed) that their servers are overwhelmed

    I just signed up yesterday, and yeah, it took almost a day to get my verification, but it worked. And the rest seems to work fine.
