The last time I looked into Stoat (back when it was Revolt, they had basically no cryptographic capabilities enabled. Have they added any e2e features at all yet? Like, the overall impression I got from them it is that it’s being developed mainly by someone who seems pretty new to programming in general, and that makes me feel pretty cautious.
Stoat (formerly Revolt), is a strong FOSS competitor with a Discord-like feeling stoat.chat github.com/stoatchat

I don’t think that’s their focus right now, it seems like they are focusing on replicating discord features and that is not one of them

I’m liking it, but there is a lot of work left to do there. I joined today and replicated the small server I run for video game nights with my friends. That part all worked, but the application layer seems to need the most attention. iOS is not there yet and Android needs notification integration. The desktop client has a memory leak. I hope it gets there, but it will be a tough sell to normie friends who can’t handle rough edges. The self hosted version is also behind on the release so it takes some effort to get working (looking to do this but I don’t know if I have the chops to make it work as is)
The bones are there though and hope they get an influx of help given the writing on the wall about Discords imminent continued enshittification.
